Читать книгу Woodburning with Style - Simon Easton - Страница 34

As you work through a pyrography design, the nib of the pen will be used to burn the surface in a variety of ways. Over time, carbon deposits and ash will build up on the nib. This can reduce the working temperature of the nib so that you find it harder to burn in a certain way, or you find it takes a longer time to create a certain effect. The deposits can clog up the nib, causing it to snag or dig in as you work across the surface. Any of these issues can ruin the quality of the line or mark you are trying to achieve. Cleaning the nib regularly will prevent these problems from having a detrimental effect on your design work.
