Dave,
My wife and I had the exact same impression about the stained glass awards. I think it's a terrific idea, but the assembly didn't seem up to par.

Mr C,
We will all have to wait for that review as it has not shipped yet. As soon as I receive it I will let you know if it is worth the paper it is written on.... :S
They did say during the demo that the multi-line fonts may not work out as well as the single line and outline fonts, but can't say for sure right now. Same goes for trying to fill in a larger solid design. The tip appeared to be close to the size of a ball point pin tip, so I can see where a solid design might not fill in completely.

From what I saw, the effectiveness of the device depends largely upon the flatness of the substrate.
Even though the "Foil Writer" (I forgot its actual name) rides in much the same way as a cutting tool in a Featherweight burnishing adapter, direct contact of the foil with the substrate and sufficient pressure, on the part of the heat pen, is crucial to a consistent image.
The examples I saw, looked most impressive as a means of adding gold or silver lettering to certificates.

David,
Even tho they were just demo-ing on paper certificates, it will also work on vinyl, plastic, ribbon, wood, etc. depending on the foil type used. He only had foil that worked on paper so that is why he didn't use other substrates. I have several types of foil here so I am anxious to "play".
:D

I don't blame you. I did see a sample of foiling to a wooden item, which isn't something easily achieved through traditional hot foiling methods.
It's a matter of discovering a tool's strengths and exploiting those areas.
Please show some samples of your trips to the playground, won'tcha? :-)
