Inlay Tools

Tools for applying wet enamel known as wet inlay, wet packing or wet charging.

Mister No longer available.  You can use an empty, clean deodorant spray bottle as an inexpensive substitute.  Look for one with a fine mist.  A large spray bottle from the dollar store also works but I find the spray is not as fine, so hold it as far from your work as possible.

Stencil and Stencil Material

Clear Vinyl Stencil Material

This can be used over and over without deterioration of the stencil. The clear vinyl is very flexible and pliable. It can be laid directly over a drawing or photograph and lines traced right onto the vinyl with a permanent black marker. The stencil is then cut out with an exacto knife or heat knife. Stencils can be washed after use and then be used again. Works best on flat surfaces.
