How To Use Torch Paste with Ikonart:

• If using on wood, sand your surface first; we recommend 220 grit sand paper
• Add your stencil and rub down well to adhere to surface
• Apply a thin layer of Torch Paste and squeegee through all mesh openings
• Scrape off excess and return to the jar
• Remove the stencil and let the paste absorb/dry for a minimum of two minutes
• Use a high-powered heat gun (we recommend 1000W or higher) and continuously move the heat over the design until the design begins to look burned; more heat equals a darker burn
• After the entire design is burned wipe your surface to remove any debris
• Finish your project with a stain or sealer (if applicable) or leave natural
