After weeks of scheming I finally convinced Gavin to let me use the hot foil stamper. It makes an amazing sizzling noise when you cool it off on wet cotton before stamping, and steam comes off the roll.
So the 3 things to remember are :
1 Heat
2 Pressure
3 Dwell
I didn't realize that each letter has a different way of being pressed in, so a J for example would be pressed more vertically where an H takes some side to side pressure as well.
This was a gift for the lovely Jane Herro, and is my first monogrammed book. I've been calling it Blood Zebra because of a little thumb incident which I won't post photos of because it's a little gnarly.
