Materials: Applicator Pens and Nibs
Applicator pens and nibs are used to apply the gutta. The pen is a
plastic tube with a screw on the nozzle, where you attach a metal nib
with masking tape. Nibs come in many sizes for a thicker or thinner
line.
Nibs always come with a correctly sized wire that seals the hole. In
using the nibs make sure that the hole is plugged by wire or a pin when
you put your pen away at the end of the day, unless the nib will clog.
You can make your own applicator by simply rolling a piece of paper into
a cone with a small hole at the pointy end.
