You Gotta Get This Tool!
For years I have been trying just about every rub on tool out there. I never knew whether it was me or not but I always had trouble putting a nice clean rub-on down on my paper. I had just about given up on ever using rub-ons when I came across this fairly new rub on tool by Basic Grey. 
Its a tool that makes using and laying down rub-ons a breeze. I used it for the first time the other night with a fairly large rub on. Putting the rub on down went like lightening and didn't need the strength of a sumo wrestler! It’s shaped like a pen with a large roller ball at one end and a spatula at the other. Because the ball glides so easily you reduce the friction and you get a very clean transfer. Just lay your rub on down and trace over the word or make circular motions if it is an image. You don’t need to press down hard. The spatula end is used for setting your rub on. Lay the rub-on backing (slimy side down) over the design and burnish it with the paddle for a smooth, perfect finish. Again, you don’t need to put a lot of muscle into this step. If you buy no other tool this year buy this one. You will be so happy you did!!
Currently, this retails for around $6-$7.
Have a Great Day!
Enjoy!
woohoo!! I just bought that yesterday but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I hate it that some rub ons are so so so superhard to get on the paper.
