Hi Stacy I found your channel I've been painting with oil and acrylic and figure what the heck let's try encaustics, do you prefer a heat gun or a torch? just curious this is a new world for me thank you for your videos they are helping me a ton.
Hi. I personally prefer a torch. As long as I'm not working with paper or anything flammable. I think i have better control over the heat with a torch. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. 😍Feel free to reach out with any questions.
It is an Oster and it is quite old. I don't think they make this model anymore. I also have and use a Presto griddle that you can also set the temperature on. Having said that' I'd still recommend a surface thermometer because setting the temperature is not always extremely accurate. Hope this helps. 😍

What brand name griddle are you using? It looks like you can set the temperature.
