How to clean wood burning tool tips. This video goes over the basics of using the Creative Versa-Tool. My favorite burning tip for this process is the Colwood spear-shaped one mostly set on 710 heat intensity for MDF or 510 for softer surfaces like pine wood. Tape the holder on a table or other flat surface to hold the tool when not in use.

NEVER touch the point or metal parts of the craft tool when heated. To sharpen or clean the points use a fine emery board. Once your tool is heated begin burning.

Start with straight areas to get practice and then work up to the curved areas. Clean more regularly as you use the stove as you use the stove more frequently in winter you should clean it more regularly. To clean your tips use either brass or stainless steel wool.

Hold the wood burner like you would a pencil or paintbrush. Always turn the wood as needed so that your hand and arm are comfortable while wood burning. You can also utilize a bristly green rouge for daily use.

This is not as quick as the other methods but its less abrasive safer for delicate tips and just as effective. Use flat nose pliers to screw points into the end of the craft tool especially when the tool is on and heated. This tool gets hot so be careful and use all of the recommended precautions.

Old newspapers or paper towels to clean and polish the glass. Use sandpaper to clean off the point as needed. Covers Image transfer changing points and the process of burning.
