  • Essential

    Blank adhesive canvas

    Printing your own chart onto adhesive canvas is what makes a custom design possible. Check the size matches your pattern in centimetres.

  • Optional

    Light pad

    Optional, but it makes the printed symbols readable through the canvas. A4 suits most designs.

  • Essential

    Applicator pen and wax

    The pen picks a drill up; the wax is what makes it stick to the pen. Kits usually include both — check before buying separately.

  • Optional

    Drill tray

    A grooved tray lines the drills up the right way round. Any cheap one works.
