Pugaboo Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I am looking at getting the Airpen but am wondering if it will do what I need it to. It's quite expensive and I don't want to get in if it won't do what I need. I would like to use it on bone dry greenware to do fine details with Underglaze. Has anyone had any experience using an Airpen like this? I am wondering if the tip needs to be pressed against the surface and if so if that leaves a groove which I don't want. Would using it on bone dry greenware also possibly clog the tip? Does the Airpen ever sputter out a glob of underglaze? Kind of like a squeeze bottle with slip can at times if there is an air bubble. Does it feel like a normal drawing instrument? Is it awkward to use or does it feel natural in your hand when using it. I tried to find out more about how the pen works with ceramics but could not find any YouTube videos with it being used on CLAY. Went to their website and it says can be used on clay but no examples of it in use I could find. Big Ceramic Store carries the original model but again no video. I tried to be as detailed as I could to help you guys help me but if I missed some aspect please let me know and I will try to clarify further.

JLowes Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Making a DIY version is an alternative. I have assembled the components, but never find the time to put it all together. I saw the idea in a Yahoo Group, Pottery Basics. I don't know if the following link will get you to the pictorial documentation if you are not a member of the group. You could always join the group as it is open to join. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/potterybasics/photos/albums/602576137 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
