Loading your Enkaustikos Pen or Brush Attachment is easy; simply dip the attachment into hot liquid encaustic wax before painting. The brass attachment is kept hot by the Wood burner pen and the temperature regulator which allows you to find the optimum temperature for each attachment. The heated pen tip allows you to draw with liquid wax paint at your leisure without rushing to apply colour before the wax cools. Enkaustikos developed the Hot Wax tools to enable encaustic artists to create special effects while still maintaining the molten state of coloured wax. The Hot Wax Pen tips and brush attachments can be used to create an array of line widths; from fine lines to wide transparent strokes of wax. Solid brass is used to handcraft the Enkaustikos C-Series Pen Points and Brush Attachments. The heated Enkaustikos Wax tools maintain the molten state of wax until it is applied to the painting surface. This innovation allows the encaustic painter the option to work on fine details or fast and spontaneous shapes of colour.

• Features: Handmade quality, Brass construction, Seamless ferrules
• Perfect for Encaustic painters and Artists of all levels

Hot Tool Care andamp; Maintenance

Always remove the Hot Tool attachments by gently grasping them by the ferrule to unscrew them from the wax pen. Attachments should be removed while still hot because residual wax will still be soft and pliable. Use paper towels or a soft cloth to protect you fingers from getting burned. Never grasp the tip of the Hot Tool attachment (the pen point or burhs bristles) to remove or unscrew it.

Never force attachments onto the wax pen. The Hot Tool attachments will still get hot even if they are loosely screwed onto the wax pen, forcing the attachments on our screwing them on too tightly will cause damage.

Use Slick Wax and a soft cloth or paper towels to clean you Hot Tool attachments.

Carefully screw the Hot Tool attachments onto the wax pen, as forcing the tips on may result in cross-threading of the tools.

To protect the bristles of the Hot Brush attachments when not in use, dip the tip of the bristles in melted Slick Wax to coat and then let cool.
