Re: [BKARTS] Toner transfer tools

Look for travel irons on Google or elsewhere.  Not expensive, and fairly
large surface area.

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.
