DIMENSIONS OF BRANDING IRONS: (branding head dimensions) 2 1/2" across by 2 1/2" tall - perfect for most DIY projects; (handle length) 10" long handle for safe handling; handcrafted with American-made A36 steel for durability and clarity of imprint..TIPS FOR BRANDING ON LEATHER: 1) Can be used on Oil Tanned Leather or Vegetable Tanned Leather. 2) Ensure leather is clean and oil free to get a good imprint. 3) Before branding your actual leather project, always practice and test the iron on scraps of the same type of leather to gauge the temperature and pressure needed..SUGGESTIONS FOR BRANDING WOOD AND FOOD: 1) To get a well-defined imprint on wood, spritz the area with water or dab a damp towel over it before pressing your branding iron on the surface. As moisture makes it harder for the wood to burn, only the surface in contact with the wood branding head will burn, hence giving you a cleaner design. 2) When branding on food, go for meat or vegetables with firm textures. Lightly coat the branding iron with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking to it..SO EASY TO HEAT UP YOUR BRANDING IRON: You may heat your branding irons with a gas cooktop, propane grill/torch or even over a campfire. These branding heads will need to be heated for 10 minutes for the best imprint results. Always wear heat-resistant gloves as your branding iron will get very hot.
