Question Too hot to handle -

Hi everyone, as I'm certain you all know that after a bit at a high setting, the 'pen' becomes rather hot. Is there a material of some type that can be wrapped around the pen to keep the heat away from the fingers?

What are you all doing to deal with this issue?

Thanks, in advance -

Ron

Ron, Some of the different pen makers put cork, or some kind of foam on them, but check and make sure all of your connections are good and tight. A loose connection will cause them to get a lot hotter.
