Although I did not get a note from Frank......I had to buy a pen torch for an unrelated project......so I now have FIRE!!!!!!
It took me a while to figure out that the tips supplied with the $9 Harbor Freight Special were just getting in my way....so I took them off,
I shined up a few small pieces of clear acrylic and accidently bent a few too......the benefit is that I now know how to heat bend acrylic the old fashioned way!
I haven't burned myself yet (or atleast not 3rd degree burns) and I haven't burned down the house.....yet.
So if anyone has any tips or projects that they used a flame polisher on, I'll actually listen to them now.
My first question is.....how much detail do you lose by flame polishing an image?
