Wood Burning Paste
Wood Burning - An Extra Money Maker
Often, we get asked, is there some way of etching wood? There is a demand in the corporate and gift markets for wooden products which look like they were laser engraved with a logo or message. Up to now, you could do a transfer, though that has been difficult as different woods give different results or you could laser engrave but laser engravers are expensive.
Now we have a solution: Torch Paste and XyloPaste
Anyone with a vinyl cutter and a heat gun or heat press can use these items together with
Torch Paste or Xylopaste to burn designs into wooden items. With these wood-burning pastes, you can produce a truly professional result with very little effort. This opens a whole new market for you.
Helpful Tip: How to make 15mm genuine bamboo boards with wood burning paste food safe
When using our 15mm genuine bamboo cutting board, pizza board or any other genuine bamboo products with Xylo paste or Torch paste wood burning gel, simply finish it off by applying food-grade cutting board / butcher block mineral oil to make it food safe before use.
Food-grade cutting board / butchers block mineral oil is not available at JG Electronics.

The Difference Between Torch Paste And Xylo Paste
Both products produce a great result with the only major difference (other than cost) being that the Torchpaste burns more evenly and darker than the Xylo paste. The only way you will notice the difference is if you try both on the same artwork. The Torch Paste also has a longer shelf life once opened but costs more than 2.5x the price. We recommend you try both and stick with the one you are most happy with.
