INTRODUCTION:

The 

FP-1/32" Flow Pencil

is used extensively by

Designers, Sculptors, Hobbyists, Crafters, Ceramicists,
Artists, Bakers, Furniture Manufacturers, and others to
beautify their products.  The Flow Pencil is easy to control
and operate.

MIXING COLORS:

1.  Proper mixing of colors is essential for continuous

and uninterrupted striping.

2.  Mix colors into a free flowing consistency, strain to

remove any lumps.

3.  Do not mix color in cup of Flow Pencil, use a separate

container and pour into cup only when color flows
freely.

4. 

 

Increase color to heavier consistency for wider
stripes.

COLOR ADJUSTMENTS:

1.  Remove 

MU-20 Cover

, and pour premixed free

flowing color into cup, then replace cover.

2.  If necessary, blow thru the vent hole located in the

center of the 

MU-20 Cover

to start flow of heavier

materials the first time, after which color should feed
freely by gravity.  If it does not flow it is too heavy.

3.  Turning  the 

N-20 Adjusting Screw

will control the

stroke of the 

MU-65 Finger Lever Assembly 

which

controls the flow of color.

OPERATION:

1.  Hold the 

FP-1/32" Flow Pencil 

in your hand as you

would a pencil or brush and place your finger lightly
over the 

MU-65 Finger Lever

.  When ready to stripe,

pull back on the 

MU-65 Finger Lever

. The Flow

Pencil should be moved in a backward motion (away
from the paint) after the color has begun to flow,
never push it into the paint.

2.  Regulate the flow to the desired feed rate by turning

N-20 Adjusting Screw.

3.  Keep vent hole in the 

MU-20 Cover

open.

4.  Practice striping before working on finished product.
5.  Correct adjustment of controls and skill of operation

will result in uninterrupted and continuous striping.

CARE AND CLEANING:

1.  Before storing FP-1/32" Flow Pencil clean it thoroughly.

Empty remaining color from the cup and rinse it with
solvent.  Pull back on the MU-65 Finger Lever and allow
solvent to flow through cup, shell and nib.

2.  If color has hardened in hole of nib use a tooth pick or

needle dipped in solvent to remove accumulation.

3.  MU-49 Needle is held in position by MU-57 Needle

Chuck  and VL-141 Locknut.  Remove the needle by
unscrewing the MU-64 Handle and removing the
spring.  Loosen the VL-141 Locknut and then remove
the needle for cleaning.

PRESSURE CUP APPLICATION (CUP NOT INCLUDED)

The 

ALP-32 Pressure Cup

can be used for heavy

consistency colors for embossed or raised lines.  A power
plunger pressurizes the liquid for color feed that is more
consistent with heavier materials.

WARNING:

Striping materials may be harmful if inhaled or

allowed to come into contact with the skin or eyes.  Consult
the product label and Material Safety Data Sheet supplied
for the spray material. Follow all safety precautions.

CAUTION:

Well Ventilated Area Required to remove fumes.
