Old Dust Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Torch Your Work I normally use a small pencil torch to burn off 'fuzzies' from the back of cuttings. Then just have to slightly wipe with a 150 grit sandpaper to get all off. I have noticed that, by doing that burning, I can get some interesting highlighting for the cutting. So I have been torching the front of some cuttings and am pleased with the added art. Here are some Eagles that I have added the torching process to. HINT: When torching be sure to keep the torch moving and always have an extinguisher and/or bucket of water nearby if you have to DUNK a flaming piece.

wombatie Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 John you certainly have the touch sorry torch, they look great, but I have never been game to try that, I figure I have spent a lot of time cutting I don't want to see it go up in flames and believe me I know it would.
