So many pyrography pens!! Which ones are best for gourds?

Introduction for the new gourd pyrographer.

What pens I use to burn gourds, and some things you can look for in buying a new pen. What works well for wood burning may not be best for gourds! Not endorsing any brand, but giving helpful information on shapes and types.

That was really helpful. I remember now, I gave my woodburner tool to the country vet because his quit heating up, he used it for cauterizing. It was hard to find that tool here.
Thank you so much! I can use this info in my tool shopping.

This bit of info may at first seem irrelevant as it comes from the motorcycle community. On some cycles, especially older ones, the wiring connections can overtime build up tarnish in the connections and cause over heating, sometimes to the point of melting the connectors. Some of those connectors are under the seat... So we use a product called Deoxit, its a dielectric gel that cleans and lubricates the connections. You could try putting a little bit on the tip contacts and sliding it in and out a few times to distribute the gel. It helps clean old contacts and connections. Give it a little time to work it's magic before using the pen. Then clean off the excess or it will dribble down the tip. Ebay or Amazon carries it. The older generations of dielectric gel don't clean contacts, it just keeps tarnish from forming.

Your videos are so helpful. Ive just started on my gourd journey and would love to buy one of those straight spear tip pens for lining... But i just cant seem to find one anywhere. Can you help ?

Great video but I'm still trying out. It takes a lot of practice, especially on hard gourds.
