The BK-5: Stripped and Stippled

[trailbum]

those handles are great

Stippling is the easiest thing in the world, but it has one serious drawback. Time. This one set. . .took me two hours.
The technique is easy. With fast, woodpecker taps, just hit the scales lightly. . .

Make sure you don't let the iron sit on the plastic for any length of time. Just fast, light tapping. . .

Got it. Thanks!

Next up for the 5 will be a good Cliching...

Hey, Clich. How does it feel to have a verb named after you???

If you want nice clean sections to be stippled, border the areas you want stippled with tape, and it'll give you nice edges. I have the BK10 I have stippled in areas that I used this technique for!
