Default Re: Stippling

I don't use the tungsten piston but otherwise do as Steve suggests. I hold the airgraver like a pencil and then use the thumb of my left hand against my right thumb as added control. I hold the point just above the metal and then lightly make contact. This seems to stop all "digging in" of the point. It is all really just firm control of the tool. Takes some practice but you will get the hang of it.
