The AirPen® is a must-have tool for every studio. No more hand fatigue from squeezing applicator bottles! Fill the pen's cartridge with glaze, slip, underglaze, wax or latex resist, mender, glue, paint, or any other viscous medium to apply to intricate areas or in long flowing lines. Plug in the CSA-approved, 110 volt air compressor and then cover the air hole with your finger to draw beautiful, continuous, "no-blob" lines. The AirPen is also available with a 220v compressor for international customers.
The AirPen® comes complete with a CSA-approved 110 volt air compressor, 6 Quick-Change™ cartridges with 11 tips (xx-small to x-large), cleaning plungers, storage stoppers, cartridge holder with air pump rest, and instructions. NOW INCLUDES AIRFLOW REGULATOR!
LIST PRICE $139.95
Additional Quick-Change™ Cartridge/Tip Kit includes: 6 cartridges, 6 sets storage caps, 6 cleaning plungers & 11 tips in assorted sizes along with an additional cartridge holder.

The AIR FLOW REGULATOR allows you to adjust the air flow for dispensing thinner or watery liquids with more control. Attach the Air Flow regulator to the air pump, then attach the grey air hose to the regulator. Adjust the dial on the side of the regulator to slow down the flow of air, which in turn reduces the speed with which the liquid is dispensed through the AirPen. Now included with each AirPen.
