This works so well!

Easy to use. Scorching with heat gun at 375° purchased 3 and gave one to m buddy to try.

Dual-ended liquid pen that when direct heat applied turns the purple ink to look burned into the wood. Attempted to use an oven but couldn't get it to turn color and became worried something would catch on fire so the best method personally was using a heat gun. The heat gun did also result in some burning along the edges and corners. The pen itself draws on smoothly and creates clean lines but the lines are bold and there isn't a thin line option. The opposite end is like a whiteout sponge style brush and paints on thick. Would recommend use with other products to seal in the design and ensure food safe spaces so price-wise, something to consider. Was easier than a soldering iron despite the lines being much thicker, there was more consistency with color and perceived depth of the design but unlike soldering the design is superficial and doesn't appear engraved.

Wasn't what I expected, but after a lot of practicing I figured it out. The "ink" really bleeds so you need to be careful not to use it like a regular marker, its has more of a very watery water color paint consistency. I tried to use a stencil but the "ink" would run underneath every single time. Freehand drawing seemed to work much better. You have to move quickly and make sure not to use too much. If you draw or write too slow it will bleed too much. Reviews say to let it sit for a few minutes before you add heat bit it just bleeds. I wrote out what i needed and immediately added heat. It seemed to work the best for me. The brush side was worthless.

It is as advertised. I had a little trouble at first with the ink running due to the wood I was using but it was operator failure, not the product.

I was hoping the product ads and positive reviews were real, but I did not get the same results. The more minor issues are that the thin tip bleeds and the thick tip is way too thick for detailed work. The bigger issue is that it doesn’t work- I bought a professional heat gun and followed all product instructions- when I tried the heat gun I saw barely any difference to small sections of the wood and no difference in most areas where the scorch marker had been used. I continued to slowly and carefully use the heat gun with no results. I wore goggles and other safety equipment. The only eventual change to the wood was that it started cracking- the scorch pen marks still hadn’t darkened but the wood was cracking apart with sharp noises. It scared me and I’m glad I wore goggles. This was the lowest heat setting, following all product instructions, and it broke the wood apart and never darkened the area colored with the scorch pen. I was planning to make holiday gifts with my scorch pen, but after that disaster of a trial I bought a wood burning tool and made the gifts. I bough this product because I thought it would be easier to use, but since it didn’t work at all, it was worth the challenges of learning to use a wood burning tool instead. Don’t waste your money- I know this product looks great but it doesn’t live up to the ads.

Good

Ordered for my daughter for a project she was working on and she loved it!
