It’s not really meant to be used with stencils as it can bleed, but you can use the marker to write your design onto the wood and then use a heat gun to burn the design, just like I did here. #SCORCH PEN HOBBY LOBBY UPDATE#UPDATE – since this video went viral on Facebook a few years ago, several companies have come out with wood burning markers! It looks like they use a chemical solution like this and put it in a marker, so you can have more control over your burn. I’m excited to try some different methods with this technique! It’s a very different result than you’d get with a wood burning tool. That’s all there is to it! Isn’t it neat? I love the variation in color and texture you can get with this technique. You definitely need the heat gun for this process, but they’re not terribly expensive… this is the one I picked up at Lowe’s for about $20. I did try a hair dryer to see if it would work, but the temperature was just way too low – I didn’t even get a slight burn. Don’t hold it in one place too long or you may begin to scorch the surrounding wood. The longer you hold the heat gun over the design, the darker the brand will be. We applied a light coat of wipe on poly prior to using the marker. (I just used a scrap piece of plywood.) Using a heat gun, carefully heat your design until the brand appears. STEP 4 – Make sure your wood is on a heat-resistant surface. (You could also use a water pen for a bit more control, if you want!) Use a very small amount of solution on your brush at a time – too much can make it run, and there’s no way to “undo” where your solution has been painted! STEP 3 – Use a paintbrush to paint over your design with the ammonium chloride solution. (A light pencil line won’t show through the wood burn, but a darker line will be visible, and you can’t erase it afterwards.) STEP 2 – This is really an optional step, but it’s helpful to *lightly* sketch your design with pencil. STEP 1 – Mix up your ammonium chloride solution – 1 T.
