GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR TRADEFLAME CRAFT KIT
Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Better Results
The best way to get started is to familiarize yourself with the Craft Tool,
thevarious tips and the patterns they create. Do not attempt to use the Craft
Tool on materials likely to melt (plastic, synthetics or imitation leather)
zWood burning Tradeame Craft Kit 10000608: Test tips by writing your
name on the back of the chosen piece of wood. This allows you to get a feel
for how the wood will respond and to get your creative juices and technique
owing.
GETTING STARTED
Set up a safe work area. You can tape the stand to a piece of ceramic tile -
Make sure the tile is heavy enough to keep the Craft Tool stand from tipping over
while it protects the work surface. You will also need a reproof container like a
glass dish or metal lid to hold your various tips while they are cooling. You will
need a pair of needle nose pliers with smooth jaws to remove the hot tips from
the iron. Remember that metal conducts heat very quickly. Never attempt to
change a hot tip with your ngers.
The best way to get started is to familiarize yourself with the Craft Tool, the
various tips and the patterns they create.
TIPS AND THEIR USES
Your new Tradeame Craft Kit comes with a wide variety of burning, cutting,
branding, and specialty tips depending on which kit you have purchased. To get
the most from your kit, follow these instructions to create the results you want.
1. Script tip - for writing script and for burning grooves of various depths. Move
slowly across your work to make deeper grooves.
2. Universal tip - a multi-purpose tip. Hold the tip at various angles for creating
lines of varying widths. Performs all fundamental wood burning techniques.
3. Dot tip - for making dots of various sizes and depths. Using this tip, make
light touches to your surface for ne dots. Hold the tip on the surface for
longer periods of time to create deep holes.
4. Calligraphy tip - This tip mimics the shape of a calligraphy pen. Do not allow
the iron to rotate in your hand as you trace calligraphy letters.
5. Stencil tip - Use this tip to cut craft pattern stencils into stencil materials.
6. Shading tip - this tip is tapered so that you can use it in several positions
to create light and dark shading. The polished base slides smoothly and is
great for general shading. Also can be used to transfer patterns. Edges can
be used for thinner imprecise lines. The toe can be used for burning fatter
imprecise lines. The inverted tip can be used for stippling.
7. Blade Tip - use this specialty tip to cut foam, rope, or other soft rigid
materials
8. Transfer tip - use this speciality tip to transfer designs from laser print paper
to your wooden boards
9. Stamp tips - Apply these various tips vertically on your project surface.
zWhen changing tips, for safety, always turn OFF the tool rst and let tip cool
down before changing tips.
zScrewing and unscrewing the tip when hot may easily damage the
screw-threads, or break the tips.
zKeep your tips clean for good performance and long life. Carbon may build
up on the tip surface as you work, especially if you’re working with a sappy
wood such as pine. Clean the tip with a damp sponge or Tradeame’s Brass
Tip Cleaning brass wire (part number: 218167). after use – do not le tip.
PRACTICE
1. Plug in your Craft Tool and allow it about three minutes to heat up.
2. Hold the Craft Tool like a pencil. Do not touch any of the metal parts, as
they are hot.
3. Start by writing your name. Practice pulling the point toward you instead of
pushing it away. Never use excess force or pressure to draw. Let the heated
tip do its work.
4. You can vary the appearance of the pattern by the amount of time you leave
the tip on the surface and by the pressure applied to the tip.
5. The longer the tip stays on the surface the deeper and darker the pattern will
appear.
6. The brown shading is affected by the speed of the tip across the surface.
7. The smoother the surface of the material, the clearer and ner the design
will appear.
8. After you have practiced a while, make a sample board as a reminder of
patterns you can create using different tips and techniques.
9. This will make it fun and easy to complete a new project with an interesting
display of “pyrography techniques”.
DESIGNS
You can adapt a variety of designs from almost any media. From colouring books
to garden manuals just about every item has been captured as line art or a
simple sketch. Once you have become familiar with the iron and the patterns,
you can create using the various tips, it will be easier for you to create your own
designs. Use a copy machine to reduce and enlarge designs to suit your project
TRANSFERRING DESIGNS
Using the transfer tip
zTo use laser printout, take picture using digital camera, then ip the image to
form a mirror image in the computer, then print.
zChoose the Transfer Tip and craft tool. Place your pattern on the surface and
secure with masking tape across the top of the wood surface, and gently rub
the Transfer Tip on the paper in a circular motion.
zDue to heat, toner from the printout will be marked on wood.
zYou can use sandpaper as eraser to correct any mistakes.
Using the Tracing paper (not included)
zPlace your pattern on the surface and secure with masking
tape across the top.
zLift the pattern and place carbon paper directly on the surface.
zLightly trace the design using a pencil.
zDouble check your design before removing the pattern to make sure you
have transferred the entire pattern.

SURFACES
A wide variety of surfaces are suitable for pyrography. Hardwoods such as
beech, sycamore, birch and hornbeam are most popular. Most craft stores carry
a good selection of these varieties. Birch plywood works well and is available at
home improvement centres. You can also make your own tabletops and furniture
using plywood and decorate it with your new skills. Smooth grained and light
coloured woods work best. Stay away from dark, coarse grained hardwoods.
Pines are not suitable because they have too much sap causing it to burn and
mar your patterns. Cork, leather, some papers, and even wax candles make
great design surfaces. Check your craft store and woodworking shops for
suitable surfaces. Experiment! This is a hobby. That means you can just do it
because it’s fun.
SAFETY TIP:
Caution should be taken when working with certain hardwoods such as,
English pressure treated or tropical woods. Avoid using very thin plywood
or veneer because they contain adhesives that emit dangerous fumes when
heated. Wear protective masks.
ADDING COLOUR TO YOUR DESIGNS
Colour can add an extra element of excitement to your new project. The tips
have provided great texture. Now it’s time to add a nishing touch, once the
pyrography is complete but before you varnish try some of these materials. Be
sure to clean the surface rst with a light rub of alcohol to remove ngerprints
and grease.
Suggested colouring and nishing supplies:
zVarnish
zAcrylic paint thinned with water
zColoured glazing gels
zWatercolours
zCaulks
zWood stains and nishes
zShoe polish
zShoe dyes for a deep rich shade
zPaintbrushes with soft bristle
zSponges for applying varnish
zSoft cloth
FINE GRIT SANDPAPER
Add a little water to your medium to keep it thin. Thickpaint will cover up your
pattern work. A foam plate makes a great pallet because there’s no clean up
and paints don’t bleed into the surface. Test your colours and your technique on
scrap materials if possible. If not, select the least visible location. Colour can be
added to the designs as well as the background or both.
APPLYING VARNISH
Two to three coats of satin or gloss varnish will protect your work of art. Use
a soft cloth or sponge rather than a brush, which might leave hairs and brush
strokes behind. Follow manufacturer instructions regarding application, safety
and drying times.
