Deluxe Firearms Stippling Kit by OTDefense. 100% USA Made

  

100% Made in the USA! From the molded case to the tips to the wire brush, this kit is completely made in the USA and all tips are specifically designed for firearms, not wood. 25 Watt Woodburner with a short shaft for ease of control and a moderate temperature. Tan Hard Case for convenient storage of all your stippling items.

Two Large plastic vial to hold the tips. Three small plastic vials for the 20LPI tips and Finish Tip. One piece of practice material, 2x6' and 1/8 thick so you can stipple both sides. One wire brush for keeping your tips clean.

This kit does not include all OTD tips since the lineup changes often. This Stippling Kit must be used by a qualified gunsmith. If used incorrectly, injury, death, or property damage could occur. Common sense - take your time, practice on some old A2 grips, magazine floor plates, old clinton era 10 round Glock 17 mags (unless you live in a state that requires you keep them), some of the practice material we sell. This will give you familiarity with the tool/tips, and enable you to recognize some important things (outlined below). Then and only then should you move on to your firearm. If in doubt, take it to an experienced gunsmith.

This is what controls the process. More or less time is required for some materials than others. More heat is more suitable for some materials then others. I recommend a 25watt woodburner for most users and most jobs. These burn just under 1000F generally.

A 40 watt unit would burn so much faster that it would require less time and pressure. Why not use a 40 watt then?

Because it also makes it easier to mess things up. The tips are designed to increase productivity by covering more surface area rather than using and ultra hot tool. Pressure controls the flow of material as you melt it. Realize that is what you are doing, melting the gun's material, allowing it to take the shape of the tip you are using.

Keep in mind different gun frames will'melt' differently. Glocks are harder material than XD's, M&P's removable backstraps are super soft and require a gentle touch. Don't practice on a Pmag (one of the hardest things on the market) and then jump into your Glock and expect the same results while utilizing the same time/pressure.

You are not to be sinking these tips in very deep. About 0.040 (thickness of 3 normal business cards) is generally the deepest you would go. Most time quite a bit less than that. Most colored gun frames will not retain the factory color, as the waffle tips will leave a small amount of material on the tip, resulting in your frame having a black tint to it in spots. You can mitigate this by keeping the tip VERY clean with a brass/copper wire brush.
