🧼 Brass Branding Iron Care Instructions

1. Let It Cool Naturally

After each use, allow the branding iron to cool down completely on a fire-safe surface. Avoid submerging it in water while hot — this can warp the metal or damage fine details.

2. Clean After Use

Wipe off any residue with a dry cloth while the iron is still warm (but not hot). For food residue or light scorch marks, gently scrub with a soft-bristle brush or a cloth dampened with warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, as these can scratch the brass.

3. Dry Thoroughly

Brass is corrosion-resistant, but always dry the iron completely after cleaning to prevent oxidation or tarnishing over time.

4. Polish Occasionally (Optional)

To restore shine, use a small amount of brass polish on a soft cloth. Only polish the surface — not the branding face — to avoid altering your stamp’s detail.

5. Store Safely

Keep your iron in a dry place, ideally in a cloth bag or tool wrap to prevent dings. Don’t stack heavy objects on top of it.

6. Avoid Overheating

Heat the brass branding face gently with a propane torch or heat gun. Brass heats faster than steel — 2–3 minutes is usually enough. Overheating can cause detail loss or discoloration.

🔥 Pro Tip:

Test on scrap material before branding your final surface. Brass holds heat well, so you’ll often get a clean brand with a shorter press.
