The Flexcut Micro Palm Set includes four tools suitable for relief printmaking methods such as linocut or woodcut. The base of the tool fits comfortably into the palm and allows for full flexibility when cutting.This four piece set includes a small V-Gouge (70 degree x 1/8", 3mm), a small U-Gouge (#11 x 1/16", 2mm) and two shallow gouges (#3 x 1/8", 3mm and #5 x 1/8", 3mm). The tools are housed in a wooden box for storage and protection, along with a handy Flexcut sticking-plaster dispenser in case of accidental slips.

This combination tool has a twisted shank of high carbon tool steel, and is tipped with a different tool at each end: a burnisher and a needle point scribe.Burnishers are used to flatten a section of a plate in order to remove engraved or etched patterns and lines. This 'erases' the marks on this area. Do not use the end of the tool; use the 'belly' of the tool, just below the tip.The other end of the tool has a needle point scribe. If this tool is used to add detail or tone directly to the metal plate (a technique known as 'drypoint'), it will inscribe a line with a slight burr, which will print a blurred, indistinct line. This effect can be controlled by manipulating the angle at which the point meets the plate. This end of the tool is designed to be resharpened periodically.This tool is manufactured by EC Lyons.

Liquid Extender is used to thin Akua Liquid Pigment if it has become too thick - for instance, it will re-constitute “air thickened” ink. Can be used with Akua Liquid Pigment but not with Akua Intaglio Ink. It - has a thick consistency and is transparent in colour. - Adding water to Akua Liquid Pigment Inks is not advisable as water will cause ink to dry on the monotype plate and prevent it from releasing onto dry paper. Use the Extender directly with the colours on the palette that have become too thick. It can also be added to Akua Liquid Pigment to dilute it and create more transparency without having an effect on the consistency.
