Everything you need for fusing and smoothing encaustic paint!

The key to a strong and stable encaustic paint film is that the layers of wax are securely fused to one another. Here are some of the best heating tools you can find to do precisely that! From hot air guns and torches that allow you to evenly smooth and fuse encaustic paints without touching them, to tacking irons for surface work, R&F has a few of the best heating and fusing tools for any encaustic artist!

Heat Gun – The R&F heat gun is an integral part of your Encaustic tool kit. It features two speeds and a variable temperature setting for versatility in heating the painting surface.

Heat Gun Nozzles – R&F makes two different kinds of heat gun nozzles. The fan nozzle and the reduction nozzle offer the user a wider range in terms of heat application.

21st Century Tacking Iron – Use like heated tools to manipulate and smooth an encaustic surface. It is also helpful for melting wax drips off the side of a painting panel to smooth the edges. The 21st Century Tacking Iron is lightweight, with smooth rounded edges and an adjustable temperature dial.

Solder-It Mini Pro Torch – A safe and easy method for fast spot-fusing of encaustic paint. Self-igniting, with an on/off switch that can be used with one hand. Great for detailed and meticulous fusing.
