Beaumont Do it Best Hardware really stepped up when I went shopping for new torches on Saturday. Not only did they help me find some new torch alternatives and a great digital heat gun, they donated all the supplies I found that day to the recovery panes project. With community support like that I hope to be able to reach all the people who really need to do some healing without stressing about budget issues.
I was trying to find my favorite torch, the Bernzomatic Powercell Triggerstart torch. This great lady looked it up online and found out they are discontinuing them completely. Which sucks, cause they work awesome with encaustics.
Currently, most of the new torches come with the 'big boy' canister which is just too fat for my hand and for most the people I work with. I miss the powercell style which fits perfectly into your hand and can be held for hours with out causing carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow... Is anyone out there listening???? I do not have lumberjack hands.
At this rate, I am going to have to design my own torch just for encaustic art work. Hmmmm? Maybe I am onto something here.
