X Tip a 25 would be great. Railroad, you'll have to go a bit slower to keep the imprint of the tip 'crisp' in the bottom. If you go to fast you'll see it start to bubble and be less clear of an imprint. 30W would mitigate some of that, allowing you to go faster (not always a good thing depending on how much you've been practicing).
@@brittneyfish-beheler1092 I use 30 for everything myself. You can totally use a 25 for the railroad, or any other detailed tip, you will just need to go slower to keep it crisp.
Thanks for sharing. I bought the OTD kit a few months ago but have yet to try it. Interesting how different tips produce different results depending on the polymer of each pistol. None of them seem to look clean on Glock. I've seen guys do clean work on Glock pistols. Just wondering what they may use.
To make super shiny looking imprints on a Glock, higher heat is the best. 25W and going slow, or a 30W burner. Practice on the case your Glock came in as the material is pretty similar.
All the modern wood burners share the same threads as ours, 8-32. (calipers out to ..1530"). We have two adapters for various solder irons. @@ILruffian
Hello, great vid.. about how long should one expect to have stippling last ? I’m getting ready to do some stippling for my EDC just trying to get an idea as to how long I should expect it to last. Thanks
Great question: Depends on usage and the texture you applied. Lighter textures (finer looking) will last a few years with normal use, the more aggressive textures will last a bit longer. Certain textures are super easy to redo (waffle, X, Wagon...), others will be difficult to go back over with the same tip (basket weaves namely).
Honestly been a few years since I've touched one.. Thinking more of a higher glass fill. Generally if you practice on wide area of materials, you'll start to recognize high vs low glass in a press or two and know how they react.
I can put that on the 'to do list' for a video. In the meanwhile, visit our website and the 'Grip Index/Ease of Use' chart is listed on the tutorial page, as well as in every tip listed on the webstore!
I never had smoke detectors growing up (don't ask) so I had no idea what the noise meant when I was renting a place for school. Literally thought it was the house squeaking and after awhile stopped noticing it. It wasn't till months later someone told me to change my friggin smoke detector batteries. Anyway, your videos are great and I'd rather give you my business that some nameless corporate entity. Cheers!!
ha, yeah I've got enough ear damage certain pitches just can't be heard, the 'low battery' beep is one of them.. Wasn't about to refilm the whole video, though now I make sure to check batteries:)
We get police destruction frames in every couple months and they go on our site. Thankfully democrat commies don't have total power and the supply is very limited.
Staccato are higher glass fill, so it will always be a bit 'sharper' texture, with less fine detail. I'd go rectangle or, thong, or perhaps wagon wheel. Practice your patterns on a P mag to get an idea, the STI frame is not quite that high glass content but will give a good example.
@@OTDefense I was thinking of using your thorns tip because it looked like the finish I desired. Do you have any examples of what the tips you’re suggesting would look like on the Staccato?
I've only stippled one Staccato. If you look at the Claw tip you'll see it on a Sig (similar material). I think the more simple shapes do better with the higher glass fill frames. With that said, if you google stippled Staccato's you'll get some ideas from what other folks have done. @@nathanv9562
Snake scale is kind of a user specific design, some customers use our oval tip, others the tip that is included in our burners. We don't make custom tips, too long of a process to get it right.
ha, that is definitely a tip most need to practice with a bunch! Though I have had a couple first time stipplers amaze me with their first basket weave stipple job
LOL. No you didn't. Chinese tips for wood, you did, not USA made tips designed for plastic. Do a few frames with your 140 and you'll see what they don't do.
Sorry, my ears literally do NOT hear that chirp. Lots of explosives and 50 cals apparently did some damage to the ears. You should go listen to the end of the video again, there is a line just for you :)
hahaha the very last frame looked very dangerous 🤣👍
that was great
Had to throw that in there!
Great advise here, I got my first stipple tip from your company today and this video makes me want more of them. This is a good skill to learn.
This is a awesome video showing the tip selection. It is very helpful when trying to pick out add on tips for the basic stippling kit.
Some of the "simpler" tips show the best IMO. That Rectangle on the Glock at 14:15 looks awesome!
I been looking for a rectangle tip! Going to do the back strap cut and stipple my dagger. Love the basket weave look
Just found your channel. Definitely going to order a stipple kit. Thanks for the instructional videos
Great video esp the examples at the end on diff frames. Thanks!
great info, your company info should be in the description.
What temperature do you set your burning tool for a Glock? My burner is a 60 volt 220 - 480 C adjustable burner. Thanks
unless using a small diameter tip, I use 1000F all the time
@@OTDefense thanks
For the railroad and x tip would you recommend a 25w or 30w wood burner? Or does it really matter or make a difference?
X Tip a 25 would be great. Railroad, you'll have to go a bit slower to keep the imprint of the tip 'crisp' in the bottom. If you go to fast you'll see it start to bubble and be less clear of an imprint. 30W would mitigate some of that, allowing you to go faster (not always a good thing depending on how much you've been practicing).
Oh ok, so pretty much 30w for railroad tip and 25w for the x tip?
@@brittneyfish-beheler1092 I use 30 for everything myself. You can totally use a 25 for the railroad, or any other detailed tip, you will just need to go slower to keep it crisp.
Ok, thank you so much for the help!
Well done my friend!! 😊🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks for the reply. Will the OTD tips work on other burners? Not sure if the shaft diameter is standard. @@OTDefense

@@ILruffian
Good deal. For really clean work on a Glock, do I want to get an adapter and use my OTD tips with a solder iron even higher than 30W?@@OTDefense
Good one.
Great video man!
I checked my entire house for dead smoke detector batteries, thanks.
at least you can hear the pitch :)

@@OTDefense Thank you very much for the info. I was looking at doing Basket Weave so now I know. Again, thanks for the info. I really appreciate it!
What about the KelTec frames? They look like a different type of plastic? Easy or hard ? What types of tips you would recommend for the P17 ?
Honestly been a few years since I've touched one.. Thinking more of a higher glass fill. Generally if you practice on wide area of materials, you'll start to recognize high vs low glass in a press or two and know how they react.
I found you on ebay. Great tools!
Great work man! Where'd you find the punisher and gladiator tips? Those are pretty sweet 🤘
Thanks! We make them and sell them on our site :)
Can you rank the tips from easiest to hardest ? Or group the easy, medium and hard tips ?
I can put that on the 'to do list' for a video. In the meanwhile, visit our website and the 'Grip Index/Ease of Use' chart is listed on the tutorial page, as well as in every tip listed on the webstore!

Is there a place to purchase glock lowers that are decommissioned or cut in half like some of yours for practice?
We get police destruction frames in every couple months and they go on our site. Thankfully democrat commies don't have total power and the supply is very limited.
What tip would you recommend for a Staccato P grip for an aggressive texture?
Staccato are higher glass fill, so it will always be a bit 'sharper' texture, with less fine detail. I'd go rectangle or, thong, or perhaps wagon wheel. Practice your patterns on a P mag to get an idea, the STI frame is not quite that high glass content but will give a good example.

Do you have a video on using the cutting tip to cut borders
Yes: Cutting Tip - Stippled Borders on our channel
@@OTDefense thanks found it do these tips fit the weller burners??
@@Junglebum-SEA they will
Have ya thought about a snake scale tip? Also what about custom tips like the punisher skull?
Snake scale is kind of a user specific design, some customers use our oval tip, others the tip that is included in our burners. We don't make custom tips, too long of a process to get it right.
Any experience or tips for stippling CZ polymer frames? Are they similar in material characteristics to any of the others you discussed?
I have seen quite a few of them done, but have not done one myself to be honest.
Oooo nice!
can i plug this on a 220v socket? thanks..i have one shipped from the US
110V AC only-
Great videos. I am looking to replicate the texture of the CZ P10c on my 43X. Do you have the tip to do that?
Unfortunately we do not. The P10 has 'raised squares', and are molded into the frame.
@@OTDefense Thank you for responding.
@@christophergibson4449 No problem, sorry it took so long, my notifications were turned off
Where can I get this tip kit?
store.otdefense.com
Holy shit, after looking at that first basket weave I’m just going to sell my Stipple kit.
the first one was perfect man! 2nd one.... well, that's an example of NOT practicing. Basket Weave is also the hardest tip to do
Beautiful
What’s the spartan tip
one of our specialty tips that looks like a spartan helmet
Choice of iron?
Personally I prefer 30W, but would never tell a new stippler to use one, start with a 25W and work a bit slower.
Lmao, how did you get my glock frame with my basketweave abomination?
ha, that is definitely a tip most need to practice with a bunch! Though I have had a couple first time stipplers amaze me with their first basket weave stipple job
Great video ! But change your smoke detector batteries for crying out loud!
one tone I don't hear...
The price of these are outrageous. I just got 140 tips off amazon for around $23 same exact ones.
LOL. No you didn't. Chinese tips for wood, you did, not USA made tips designed for plastic. Do a few frames with your 140 and you'll see what they don't do.
change the battery in your smoke detector you had me going all over my house looking !!! 2nd video same sound
the video is done, no way to edit it out.... it's one of the pitches that my ears do not hear at all.
Fix your smoke alarm before your next video...omg that's annoying.
Ever met somebody who was around enough explosions that they quite literally cannot hear certain tones/pitches? That's me.
YO! PUTTA BATTERY IN YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR THERE DOOFIS! SAFETY 1ST! DID YOU CHECK TO SEE IF ALL THEM THERE GUNZ WERE UNLOADED B4 WORKING ON THEM?
Sorry, my ears literally do NOT hear that chirp. Lots of explosives and 50 cals apparently did some damage to the ears. You should go listen to the end of the video again, there is a line just for you :)
Loved the shout out to the safety Nazis... :)
Man that's alot of cut in half frames why is that?
police destruction... We use and sell them for practicing on. Get a batch every 3 months or so.
