6 reviewsThis titanium pen is different from most scribes because it writes by friction of the metal titanium point, leaving behind a metal deposit in a silver colour discretely on the surface of glass, quartz, ceramics, or vitreous enamels.
Leaves a fine line permanent mark but will not scratch, damage or weaken the glass and best of all it will last you forever!
For best results, wet both the tip of the pen and the glass before writing. This helps the titanium transfer a silver line to the glass.?
It took a little bit of perseverance to get the right pressure but as long as you wet both tip and glass it does mark the glass. Not that noticeable but on pendants it’s enough.
Takes a little getting used to, but after a bit of practice & making sure both the pen & the glass are wet it works well. If I get a scratchy feel when I write, then I know I'm not doing it properly (maybe the surface or pen nib isn't wet enough). It's nice to know our work can be marked without damaging the glass.
I think is the best and easy way to sign our work. The problem is that no many people know how to use it correctly. We only need wet the tipping point and the glass, and sign, and the titanium transfer a silver line to the glass.
Titanium pen. I've given it two stars because it does mark the glass but you have to press really quite hard and the effect is very scratchy looking and not easy to read. I bought it to sign my work with but I am going to continue looking for something else.
A very worthwhile investment that will last you for ever (if you don't lose it!). Leaves a subtle silver signature on your work but doesn't create any stress or scratches as an engraving tool would. Works best if you wet the glass and the pen nib.
