ImpressArt Dapping Kit

A dapping block and punch are used to form soft metals* into a dome shape. ImpressArts Dapping Kit has one curved depression that can easily add a domed effect to stamping blanks up to 1-¼-in diameter. The depression provides a scratch-free, non-marring surface that produces an even, smooth curvature to pendants and more intricate designs. Its multi-storage options allow the dapping block and punch to be stored upright on top of a work bench or flat inside a drawer. To use, simply place stamped blank inside depression and hold punch in center of blank. Then strike punch with a metal stamping hammer until blank is domed.
