Tips and Frequent Questions

Remember to: use the suede when you are embossing or pushing the metal at the back. It's the soft surface that allows it to be "puffed". Also use the suede when working with the Decorative Wheels and Stamping Tools so they make a deep impression on the metal. Do not use the suede when cleaning or outlining your design at the front of the metal.

Q:What products do I need to get started? A: We suggest the following to have a basic yet complete set:
*MercArt's Basic Kit (with 4 double tools)
*Cup and Ball #6
*Your choice of 1-2 decorative wheels *Suede
*Paper stump #4
*Your choice of metal: pewter, copper or aluminum.
