Scorch Paste - Wood Burning Paste, Burning Gel for Crafting & Stencil, Accurately & Easily for DIY Arts, Wood, Canvas & More - 3 OZ

I’ve had great results using this scorch paste with both silkscreen and mylar stencils. It applies smoothly, doesn’t bleed under the design, and gives a clean, professional finish once heat is applied. Definitely recommend it for anyone doing wood burning or craft projects with detailed stencils. I found no smell with the paste and the paste turns the wood a yellow color, so you know we're you have already added the paste. I've used the same bottle container of paste for the past 6 months. I little goes a very long way.

This is a thick paste that I found was easy to apply with a cheap foam brush. I made my spartan sign out of unfinished pallet wood and did not pretreat…I do think I sanded the wood but it wasn’t a very nice job. I used permanent vinyl for the stencil and due to its size (~3’ x 2.5’) i had to cut multiple stencils and try and align them. What I LOVE and wasn’t expecting, is the paste starts darkening on its own so you can see where you’ve put it down. I was very concerned with how it would work when I was trying to piece all the stencils together, but after seeing the sections I had done darken up, I was able to apply each section of the stencil separately and get seamless results. While I used a regular torch and it worked, I would recommend using and industrial heat gun (not the craft kind for around $20 they aren’t hot enough) because a regular torch tends to want to burn the unprotected wood around intricate designs like lettering.

Purchased a cheap cutting board from goodwill for my first project, found a monogram on cricut, used permanent vinyl. I didn't have a squeegee so I used a sponge and dabbed it 2× to make sure it was completely covered. Then I used a paper towel to wipe it off. It says to let it sit for 1-2mins but I accidentally let it sit for 30mins and there was minor bleeding. I had my heat gun set to 650 and held it probably an inch off the board. I will say it took probably 35 mins to get it to this darkness. It didn't burn the outside of the image only slightly discolored. No smoke or smoke smell. Nothing too noticable. Overall I'm pleased with the product and would recommend. Will be trying different temps and different woods. This was a bamboo board. The item arrived with some leakage In the plastic bag. Wiped off easily. No harsh smell.

Easy to use, small amounts will do the job. Follow instructions for better results.

Works as expected. Used a heat gun. Careful not to over heat it. When it bubbles you are overdoing it. I used a stencil and a small paint brush to apply to a wood bench. Came out great after a couple tries.

I didn't get the dark values i was wanting and I'm not sure how I'm going to remedy this. I had a high heat heat gun so it wasn't that it didn't get hot enough. And i put the gel on evenly but it just didn't evenly darken. I lay try a second coat and see what it does. The scorch pens seem to darken better. But i have alot of space to cover with a pen. Sigh.

this stuff is pretty cool. saw an ad for it and had to try it. well worth the price

Had mildly uneven blackening but we can call that user error. Low odor, the burn has lasted so far (3 months at the time of reviewing)

Used this for a DIY cutting board project, applying it over a stencil cut out with my Cricut and it worked really well—easy to spread evenly, and the burn came out clean and dark with good detail showing through from the stencil. No mess or weird bleeding outside the lines either. Dried and cured nicely, giving a nice permanent burned look without needing an actual wood burning tool. Great simple way to add designs to wood projects, would definitely recommend for anyone doing similar DIY crafts.

Great for any project. Easy to use. And a little goes a long way.

I tried it on a bamboo cutting board & it works fabulously. Then I put the cutting board in the dishwasher just to test out how long the burn would last and so far it’s been in there for 6 washes & still looks good. I do say, though, that when I put the paste on, I put it on thicker than the depth of my vinyl stencil. It burned beautifully & when you run your fingers over it, you can feel the depth of the burn.

Love this product! I had wanted to personalize a gift for my sister and her boyfriend who love to travel. I had read all the reviews and directions for the Scorch Paste and thought I would take a chance. Using a Cricut for the template and applying the Scorch Paste as directed (images 1 and 2), I utilized my heat gun and watched as the image was slowly appeared. It was so easy! I definitely recommend this product and will be using it for future projects as this cutting board!

Exceed our expectations! We used the Cricut to cut a removable vinyl stencil, applied a very thin layer of Scorch Paste to the wood and let it sit for about a min. Remove the stencil and use a heat gun to burn the wood. Turned out great- this is a mount for a turkey tail for our son in law.
