My new burner

​After about 10 years of heavy use my Burnmaster was asking to be retired.  She still works, but is not at the optimum efficiency.  She buzzes, her cords get hot, and pens are not retaining their heat as consistently as they used to. 

​So the little lady will have a rest, and if she is willing she might be helpful as a lender if someone is in need during a class.

​I decided to purchase a Razertip SL3. 
 
Briefly, I like the Razertip SL3. There are 3 ports for pens, and a memory for each port so it retains the same heat level when you turn the unit off and on again.  There is a fan that will run to protect against “internal thermal overload”.  And my favorite, the lowest settings are very low allowing for a greater range for cool burning.  In the video below I will go into more details about how she works and how I am liking her so far. 
 
Along with the burner unit, I figured I would go all out and purchase new pens and cords.  What I didn’t’ mention in the video is that the new cords are especially attractive to one of my cats!  I mean, the smell drives him wild like he can’t think of anything but having a good nosh on them.  This wasn’t the case with the previous cords, so I am not sure what is different about these.  Any road, that means I have to make sure we get packed up when I am not in the studio.   

If you are interested in getting a new burner, an upgrade or just curious about this particular unit, have a watch and happy gourding!  And happy burning!  Happy gourd burning 😄
