Love these wood 'burning' pens!You do need to be careful and lot let there be too much fluid on the tips. I recommend using a test piece of weed to get used to how they work prior to working on your projects. That way you know how wet or dry you need the tips. And whether the wood is soft or hard makes a difference, soft wood can have a bleed effect if you're not careful.Also, make sure the wood is DRY! When I took the heat gun to one board, the moisture came out of the wood, making the fluid bleed out of my stenciled area.They seem like they will last awhile. You don't need a lot of fluid if you're doing words. I haven't tried pictures yet, but am going to, as I think I can layer amounts of fluid to get varying color effects.I cut stencils on my Cricut to use for my designs, outlining the stencils with the thin pen then coloring in the larger areas with the larger tipped pens. I had to go back over some areas if the tips got too dry, but this is doable even after you've heated the areas. You can then reheat to make the areas uniform in color. Staining will also take care of some light areas.

I purchased these for a family craft night since they are so much easier to use than wood-burning tools. I tested one out on a 2x2 inch piece of wood and was surprised at how well it worked and how quickly it went. It isn't great for detail work, but it is a marker. For fine details I'll still use an actual pyrography pen. I think these steps will help if you're having trouble:My artwork is blurred:1. Do not press down. Use a very light hand - it only takes a tiny bit of ink to get results, and if you press down or stay in one spot for any amount of time the ink will spread into the wood grain nearby.2. Make sure your wood is sanded well. Use the sandpaper provided or another 220-240 grit sandpaper. Then, once you've sanded it, wet the wood with a paper towel and let it dry a few hours. Then sand it again. This raises the grain of the wood so that it will be smoother and not absorb as much of the ink in the surrounding cells.My art isn't dark enough or is too dark.1. Use a heat gun. Other heat sources like hair dryers or craft heat guns will not have enough power/heat to make the image appear. Keep the heat gun moving and don't heat it for too long. The longer you heat it the darker the results will be.I can't draw.1. Me neither so I can't help you with this one. ;-) I use carbon paper and trace images I've printed out. I will probably use stencils also, but will still use a pencil to trace the stencil onto the wood and then mark over it with the scorch marker. I think it'll be easier to move the scorch marker quickly without a stencil in the way.Hope this helps and you have fun!

I bought these to try and they work pretty well.

Before you read.. Just know that the pens work exactly like the description says.The idea behind this is awesome so I bought these to print out something with my Cricut and burn an image on the bar my husband just built. Before I potentially ruined his creation, I used the pieces of wood that the kit comes with. While its a great idea and I didn't expect the 3D effect you get with actually burning wood, it honestly just looks like I used a black Sharpie. I would recommend if you want a cool "science-y" project with (older) kids, but not if you're wanting to do something like my project.
