Encaustic Flow Pen for Encaustic Wax and Batik Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Watching the videos of this item being used, I couldn't' resist and I bought it. I didn't read the fine print though and it needed a heat regulator to go with it as well. Well after I bought the item and used it I found that it was not easy to use and was tedious when switching colors. It is basically a soldering iron that someone has welded the flow basin onto. The biggest problem I had is that the pointed flow regulator at the bottom of the basin, if you had any wax layers at all, would melt that layer as the wax was laid down on the painting. This is great if that is what you are trying to achieve but useless if you just want a single line of encaustic medium. Too much to spend on an item that you may use seldom at best.

This tool is made to lay down a consistent line of wax. It can also be used to lay down dots and little "points" of wax. Simply melt down a small amount of paint or wax medium in the reservoirand then carefully touch the Flow Pen to your substrate. The needle that runs down the reservoir will be pushed up; releasing the flow of melted wax. This is ideal for batik artists and for artists who want to try pointillism or get a niceheavy line in their work. The Encaustic Flow Pen is not interchangeable with our other pen or brush attachments. The flow pen tip is permanently affixed to the heating tool and used exclusively for line and dot work. Like our other toolsyou must control the temperature to the Flow Pen otherwise you will burn the wax paint and create unnecessary fumes. To control the heatplease purchase a temperature regulatorunless you already have one.
