How to Use a Scorch Marker for Cricut Wood Burning

[@Nikki-b7z]

This was so helpful and now ready to try some things. Thank you for sharing.

[@AngieHolden]

You are so welcome!

[@nelehsims7957]

Thank you so much for making this video I’ve learnt so much. I would like to make small square wood tags and I’m wondering how thick the Cricut Basswood is and if that’s the thickest wood you could use as im worried about the wood bending. I’m also wondering if I use a hot glue gun to stick the basswood to my chosen surface if the glue will come through the wood and stain it?

[@AngieHolden]

You can make wood tags but I would not make them very intricate or they can break. The glue shouldn't come through however.

[@janelandry6584]

Good tip about getting the marker going first before applying to the wood. I had tried wood burning once and I think this is where I went wrong.

[@pixxa37]

Great tutorial as always, thank you Angie! I know I can count on you for tutorials on harder materials, which are my favourite

[@AngieHolden]

Yay! Happy to help!

[@bobslfcu773]

Nice video, I had to try this today. I put some text on a pine blank but the results look like somebody used a magic marker and wrote on the wood. Did you get the same results or did I do something wrong? thanx for the info,

[@AngieHolden]

It definitely is an effect that is on top of the wood and not down in to it.

[@wendyleebarrett5652]

Great video as usual, I really appreciate your expertise! For whatever reason I can’t pull up the SVGs is it possible for you to link them again here? 💖 Thanks!

Thank you so very much!!!! You are an excellent teacher!

[@aliciabliss1220]

Angie do you know what causes it to almost bleed black horizontally?

[@AngieHolden]

Usually a poor quality wood or rough surface. It is the marker bleeding out along the lines in the wood. You can try sanding with like 1200 grit sandpaper a few times. Clean well and then burn. Or skip that type of wood altogether.

[@thebloomingcupcake]

@angieHolden Great tutorial, as usual, thank you. I do have a question though; this past week I have been trying to make a design out of basswood and every time it is messed up. Either the blade tip breaks off (twice) or the wood gets chipped. What am I doing wrong? Please help! 🙏

[@AngieHolden]

I only cut the Cricut brand of basswood. I find other brands are hit or miss on quality and I have issues.

[@terrilynkoetting3066]

Really enjoyed this video and picked up new tips that gives a better finished item. Mostly that you need regular computer to use knife blade. Since I use an iPad you saved me the extra trip and cost of wood that I can't use at this point. But, I also like the two coats- dry- repeat and also the sealing info for the bigger pieces that I can do. Thank you again.

[@AngieHolden]

Thanks for watching!

[@diannacarter164]

Really enjoyed watching your video on wood burning, you were very easy to understand. Do you have one for layering in color?

[@LisaVornhagen]

That is really awesome! I am really excited to try this!

[@jamiewebb9626]

This is awesome! I never knew this existed. You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing! I will try this for sure.

[@AngieHolden]

You are so welcome!

Awesome Video and very helpful Angie! Love all your videos thank you for sharing!!! Hugs Liz x

[@doloresrodriguez5350]

Hi. Thank tou for the wood burning tutorial. Was hoping to learn how to do a hand written recipe on wood burning..

[@AngieHolden]

You would have to upload a picture of the recipe and clean it up. I did that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYilint4mM-grqM

[@bridget1994timmy10]

What program do you use?

[@AngieHolden]

This is Cricut Design Space.

[@Chrissy_Mad-Scots-Wench]

Angie, THANK YOU for showing us how to make a stencil using the Cricut Explore Air 2 machine. This is the machine I have, and love. I have seen some awesome craft ideas I wanted to make but they can only be made on either Maker or Maker 3, which I don't have, [saving up for Maker 3] so was really disappointed I couldn't make them...or so I thought! Question: Would it be ok to paint a background on after burning the design on, and then sealing, or do I seal the wood first then paint. Sorry.

[@AngieHolden]

You wouldn't paint over the wood burning? But you could go around it I guess.

[@Chrissy_Mad-Scots-Wench]

@@AngieHolden Thank You

[@yolandabranner6200]

I would love to try a the larger wood design. How many times can the scorch marker be used before it is used up? Have you tried the ammonium chloride?

[@AngieHolden]

I am not sure on how many times? I have used mine several without issue.

[@josephabruzzese7404]

How do you prevent the scorch marker from bleeding in the wood

[@AngieHolden]

Some wood bleed more than others and not sure how to make it NOT do that.

[@BeyondTshirts]

My Scorch marker comes out clear then a light pink as it dries. Anyway, how long between coats when you're doing more than one coat? And how long can it sit before you apply heat?

[@AngieHolden]

I just let it dry between coats? And I let it dry before burning. I haven't timed it.

[@BeyondTshirts]

@@AngieHolden Thanks, Angie! They came out okay, better than my test mugs... I put one design upside down; the second one I forgot to mirror the image. So much for those two mugs! LOL At least I know it works, right? HAHAHA

[@tlillie-images]

Great tips! Thank you.

[@donnabader7442]

Can you watercolor/paint design before you seal?

[@AngieHolden]

I think any paint would cover up the wood burning.

[@donnabader7442]

@@AngieHolden Thank you

[@colliegirl5676]

Hi Angie, Great tutorial. Thank you so much. I have one question, can you use permanent vinyl for the stencil or do you have to use stencil vinyl to use the torch pen? Thanks again❤

[@AngieHolden]

Permanent vinyl works!

[@colliegirl5676]

@@AngieHolden ok thank you for answering my question Angie! ❤️

[@karriemb4184]

Looks amazing!! Thanks

Just did first trays for family members for Christmas. Used torch paste instead.

[@ibgolfing08]

Very good. Thank I'm going to try this.

Have fun!

Thanks!

[@saminesh]

Thanks❤❤🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@lauramartin7300]

Love your videos!! It was because of you I got my maker. Question, can you use a heat gun that you use for embossing on cards? Or does it have to be one like for stripping paint? Thanks for Sharing and ALL you do.

[@beckymills9284]

How long does it take to dry?

[@AngieHolden]

15 or so minutes?

[@joanbjornas682]

Thank you!

[@wild-radio7373]

WHERE DO WE GET THE BASSWOOD?

[@AngieHolden]

I recommend the Cricut brand of basswood.

[@dawnclarke5281]

Hi Angie, you mentioned burning a hand written recipe on a cutting board could you please show a tutorial on doing that. I have a friend, her mother has passed and this would be a great gift for her. Love this technique and have just ordered my marker and heat gun. I would love to see more videos on this. Thanks

[@AngieHolden]

I am actually thinking about doing this soon!

[@wild-radio7373]

Jessica Maker has a channel that covers this really well

Would love to see you do a recipe on a cutting board; is it hard to weed?? My grandma’s writing is in cursive and very curvy lol

[@AngieHolden]

I have had this one my mind for a while to try and perfect this! I might add that soon!

[@kimhandy1861]

Wow Angie....this is so cool! Which blade did you use to cut the wood? (Sorry if I missed that) Love your tutorials and your book! It's well organized and full of inspiration 💕

[@AngieHolden]

Knife blade with Maker.

[@BeyondTshirts]

This is the perfect solution for me! I need to put new crosses out in our pet "cemetery."

[@AngieHolden]

That sounds like a great project idea!

[@BeyondTshirts]

@@AngieHolden Hubs is out now getting the scorch marker, stencil film, and gloves!

[@MyNailsandMorebyJohna]

very nice ideals

[@AngieHolden]

Glad you like them!

[@lisahillard7211]

Have you ever tried Torch Paste? I like it. It's a bit expensive, but a little goes a very long way. Also, just a hint, if you flip your cricut cut wood piece over, you can see better where it still needs to be cut.

[@AngieHolden]

I find I get my cuts off if I go from the back.

[@yolandabranner6200]

Awesome

[@lauramartin7300]

Just saw in the supply list, heat gun needs to go at least 900 degrees, don't know temp of my gun for embossing goes.

[@AngieHolden]

Embossing guns usually DO NOT get that high which is why I specified.

[@marissareakistner1129]

I sware I seen a video about pens but now I can't see it

Can you email [e-mail] so we can look into it for you?
