Even though this was shot on a potato, it’s by far the most thorough frame modification series. It holds up 7 years later. Well done.
A tip from experience for new stipplers. Start with the right side of the pistol. Everyone looks at the left side because they’re holding it in their right hand. When you get to the left side your nerves are settled and you’re getting the hang of it. The 2nd side is always the best job.

practicing on some plastic before can help too.
Also, after you stipple, use a small butane torch and lightly go over your work. It will take the high ridges off and make everything uniform

No it wont. It will simply ruin the stipple job . your an idiot
Actually if you do a random pattern it tends to blend a lot better. a little rotation of the grip helps also. Your eye tends to pick up patterns easier so if its random it will actually look better.
If you’re into mass production, I understand trying to make the process quicker, however, if you want it to look the best, take your time and do one dot at a time. If it’s your own pistol that you’ll keep for years, what does it matter if it takes 3 hours.
I started stippling my Glock 17 frame last night and I made my own tips as well. Took the regular pointed tip and made the point much finer for my borderlines and made a double waffle tip by taking a straight piece and splitting the end of it to make a double line pattern.
I've used these tips(the square waffle tip) on a few on my glocks. You don't need to sand down the factory bumps. The waffle tips are large enough to blend the bump right into the grip.

You don’t need to sand them down even if you’re not using the waffle tip.
If you keep the tip on the burner and use a fine wire brush you can use one tip forever. Using only for 2 stippling jobs is kinda BS

Thats what i was thinking.
The small waffle tip that you did that rolling technique 3rd over from the left looks awesome. Really like that small waffle pattern. Ignore the naysayers. Didn't like the one second from the left quite as much (a bit too large of a divet for my taste), but that's why you're trying it on A2 grips. To test them out and improve your technique. Personally I think you're on the right track.

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
I like the grip you spent 3 hours on. The test grips weren't all that impressive IMO.
I have not read the other comments but wait. U can clean the tips and get more usage out of them than the two that you spoke of. All you need is to buy several cheap wire brushes. They may come in stainless steel or brass, one's a little harder than the other one. Just brush the tip while the iron is either still hot or warm, this will clean the tip and you'll get more usage out of them.
Heat those tips up and use a brass brush to clean out the build-up should make those tips last a lot longer
I PURCHASED THE TIPS AND WOW!!!! I JUST FINISHED THE GRIP ON MY GEN 4 GLOCK 19 IN LESS THAN TWENTY MINUTES. THE TIPS WORK EXTREMELY WELL, I BELIEVE IT IS VERY CLOSE TO THE WAFFLE PATTERN ZEV USES ON THEIR CUSTOM GLOCK FRAMES....FOR LESS THAN 20.00 THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.....

You're welcome! I'm glad they worked out for you!
I know I'm joining the cacophony of opinionated comments, but, this is just my opinion. I've been stippling Glock polymers for about 15 years. The temperature of the burner doesn't have to be that high. Your previous work looks really clean so it looks like you already know this. I increase the temp on my wood burner until it just starts to displace material. Too hot and it liquifies the polymer and increases the amount of raised surface and the flashing that needs to be cleaned off. A heavy build-up of melted polymer on the burner tip is also an indication that your temperature is too high. If you displace too much material the job looks sloppy and can actually be counterproductive to a grip reduction. I'm assuming the projects you did on this video were rushed and you were just trying the tips out. I've considered these tips before but I'd prefer a squared profile to make lining the pattern up easier.
Just bought their kit! Great video! Thanks for all the tips.
Before I ever started seeing people stippling plastic parts for grip, I took old checkering files, for metal work, and wrap around checkered some AR grips. Today, when I bring out a rifle with those grips, people always ask where they came from. To me, stippling is too much like sand paper and isn't comfortable, especially with rifles. I think the original ones I did were 24LPI and now I use a 30LPI file. I takes longer than stippling with a soldering iron but looks much more traditional. And, plastic doesn't take near the work of metal. Oh yeah, 24LPI cuts too deep for most plastic frames. That's why I switched to 30LPI.
Thier new website and tips are awesome... They even have a test stippling sheet and new patterns. It also says Trump2020 on their website so that's also nice.
Am seriously considering sending you my G-19, but have to admit that the square Weller tip looks way better on your previous vid. I paid particular attention how you rotated your work for each stipple. That's the way to do it. Just my 2 cents.
I am going to do this myself as well!
I like the otd tips, awesome idea but too pricey when you can get a plethora of inexpensive tips off Amazon and get close to the same results. Wish they'd price them more competitively.

use a metal brush to clean the tip out while its hot. You need to clean the tip about every 10 min. That's how you get a nice even job.
Was excited to try it out got mine today and Both heads were clogged after a quick practice test on a grip couldn't event use it on my gun 🙄. Back to the drawing boards

I'm not sure how hot your wood burner gets, but I know on mine, if I just leave it on, it will burn off all of the polymer. Also what I've done with other tips is while the burner is turned on, I'll take a small flathead screw driver and clean out the grooves.
I have the OTD adapter for the Weller sodering iorn
try removing the finger grove on the a2 grip b4 u stipple it .ir makes a world of difference in the grip

As a 76 yr old welsh man who only speaks English i wonder if reaching out, is anything like going forward, some clarification would be helpful.
I know this video is old but I am a little confused on how you were just then thinking of using a waffle type tip. I am playing stippling videos while I am doing my first stippling job with my first wood burning kit and I planed on using the waffle type tip from the time I decided to do my frame. The difference between yours and mine tho is yours actually looked okay and I am giving mine cancer...lol Good vid tho
Hey, thanks for the video! I have a few stipple handguns but have yet to do one of my own. Just curious what part of Oregon are you in? I am in Southern Oregon, in the woods south of Grants Pass. Thanks!

What tip did you use for the 26? I agree that looks better than the waffle tips.
How much grip do they provide? You never mention if they provide a good grip. Are they aggressive, mild, in between, etc?

I purchased these same tips but I'm not getting the same type of pattern. I assume it's me and my technique. Perhaps I'm making the tip to hot? I get about 6-7 waffle patterns then it turns to mush. The tip gets completely filled with polymer and the pattern stops printing. I'm practicing on PMAGs before moving to frames, that may also play a factor as I know the polymer of a PMAG is much softer than an A2 grip or glock frame. ... I'm just wondering if you have some advice? I'm also using the walnut hollow wood burning tool that has variable temperature control. Let me know if you have any advice, thanks
@OreGear

I haven't had that issue. I'm not sure whether my tip is hotter or colder but mine says it heats to 950F. At that temperature I don't have any issues with polymer sticking inside the tool. It seems to burn off any residual polymer that would form.
work smarter not harder

Thank you! I think it depends on the style you're going for with your stippling. I think that by having them round it allows the user to more easily follow contours and curves on their gun. It would be far easier to do straight lines with a rectangular tip though.
Probably would make more guys stipple their guns now that it doesn't take a half of a day. Very cool.

I'll add to the page here what we discussed on the phone Sam, incase others have the same question - Guns other then black will generally leave a small black tint when using most tips, especially the waffle tips. It takes a ton of time for an FDE gun because you have to keep the tips brushed off with a wire brush to prevent any polymer from sitting on it, and then pushing into your gun frame. As to the small round breaking, replacement is in the mail.

Hi. I have a M&P9. Would I have to sand it down first like you did or can I just use the wood burner as is over the grip (like you did in your other video with the video solder). Thanks.
@OreGear

With M&Ps, you should be fine just using the wood burner over the existing texture. The texturing is softer and more uniform on M&Ps, so you shouldn't run into any issues with it disrupting your stippling. Thanks for watching!

My OCD kicked in. Not for me. I'm just imagining having to clean out all the crap that fills in the grip. Gonna have to scrub it a lot. Have you ever cleaned out a pc mouse. Or scraped a mouse pad all that crap is oil and skin flake. OCD is off the charts. Not to say this is bad. I'm sure is amazing. Definitely not for me.
