Stotz/ styls applicator

[Hurgen Akindji]

Hi all,im thinking of starting to use stotz ans styls but a little confused as regards the difference in the two products. Also i have a blue applicator that i got from ebay but not sure how it would apply the stotz as it looks different from the preston one. Any advice would be great,cheers

You can use one of these for both

or one of these for just the stotz

Is this the blue thing you got ?

 

[Hurgen Akindji]

Hi Nic,yes mate thats the one. Was thinking of getting the one that looks like a pair of scissors. Just wanted one to do all really. If possible.

I use the one in the first picture for both and its fine.

Right that blue one is for shot really Hurgen, not ideal for stotz or styl leads mate.

Go for the sensas one (the top photo)

 

[Hurgen Akindji]

cheers lads. Will the one in the top photo take off shot etc aswell?

 

[Nic Costar]

Yes, but you could damage the line by doing so.

If you want to remove shot i mean normal round shot then use your blue one

If you mean stotz or styl's then you can use either of the top 2 photo's, just pinch the stotz or styl on one side and use your finger nail to open the lead out

Hurgen,

The answer to your second question is...styls are long and thin, stotz are shorter and fatter, with the stotz being the better of the two if you are using thicker line....otherwise, they are very similar.


Oh yes...whichever version you use, don't pinch them too hard with the applicator, otherwise you will damage the line

Cheers, Dave.
