Re: [BKARTS] Toner transfer tools

[Ginnie Mickelson <ginmick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are two other possibilities (at least) for transfer tools:

1) Transfer Tool from Dick Blick (art supplies), Lenk Model L 16TT, which has one heat setting and a round disk about 5/8" in diameter. <www.dickblick.com>

2) Nancy's Notions, <nancysnotions.com>, sell sewing supplies, including a Mini Iron with a flat, trowel shaped piece (about 7/8" x 1 1/4"); it can be set at low or high for transfer purposes. 

As Patricia discovered with the Walnut Hollow tool, I found it hard to keep from burning the paper with tools intended for wood burning.
