Very handy

It's been a while since I got this and I've used it a lot. I've had no problems with it so far. Maybe because when I use it I only switch it on for maybe 20-30 mins at a time, max, and cleaning the nib as I use it before letting it cool down cold before putting away until next time.

It's easy enough to use, smaller details, which I got it for can be naturally more difficult but some easier than using a blade. Larger stencils are very easy and very fast compared with a blade. I use Mylar sheets for my stencils which I got from here too, very good. Just make sure you have good light while you work and keep a steady eye on what you are doing and you'll be happy with your result.

I didn't even know these existed until recently and I didn't know if they were worth getting. When I started to look for one I found that they were difficult to find, especially in Ireland-this was the only place that had them. Most art shops didn't stock them or were sold out or were more expensive. So there you have it. If you're interested in making some quality handmade stencils this is something worth getting, and you are in the right place for getting one. Big thanks to Cork Art Supplies for the great service too.
