Note: Before you begin, the Creative HotMarks™ tool works best when used with the Walnut Hollow™ Tempered Glass Mat. It will ensure that your work area will not be damaged from heat. Use masking tape to secure the Pen holder to the work surface. Attach and tighten with pliers the Point you are going to use on the Creative HotMarks™. Plug Pen in and turn switch "on". It usually takes 3-4 minutes for the Pen to heat. Remember when changing Points, they are hot and need pliers to remove or attach to the Creative HotMarks™. After removing the hot Points, place them in the molded tray of the Tempered Glass Mat to cool.
