the raised effect is pretty intense. The brand reminded me of one of those face sucker things in the movie Alien.

if hot metal isn’t the best, what is? i’ve been told that making a wire “mold”, if you will, and branding it all at once is a bad idea; most of the people i know heat a rod and essentially draw the brand on.
