Preparing the Wood
For the Scorch Marker, the most valuable preparation step is in achieving a smooth, even surface. This is done most efficiently through sanding.
Sanding your wood removes large (and small) imperfections that may interrupt your drawing. Not only that, but it also provides a better area for the Scorch Marker liquid to soak into.
How to sand your wood:- Identify the direction of your grain - the direction of which the wood fiber run is known as the grain
- Choose your sandpaper grit - the higher the number the finer the sandpaper will be.
- Wipe your surface - after sanding be sure to wipe your wood surface entirely clean before apply your stencil and Scorch Marker.
