Wood Burning Gel – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Can it be used on MDF?
No, compressed and fiberboard woods may not produce the desired results.
2. Can it be applied to painted or varnished surfaces?
No, it must be applied to raw wood. You can sand the painted or varnished areas and then reapply varnish after burning is completed.
3. Will it continue to burn if heat is applied after varnishing?
Varnishing protects the gel and prevents further burning. If you need to pause before varnishing, you can continue burning with a heat gun even after 2 days.
4. Can I create my own design using a brush?
Yes, you can create designs with a brush or use our stencils.
5. I want to use it in the kitchen. How should I proceed?
For a cheese board like in the video, complete your design with Wood Burning Gel, then seal it with Stone Varnish for protection. Our Stone Varnish is food-contact safe.
6. Can I use a hairdryer for burning?
Hairdryers are designed for drying and may not provide enough heat. Therefore, we recommend using a heat gun.
