"There are some special materials you will need for this particular method, most of which can be found in your local art store, hardware store, or online. One of my giant pet peeves with internet tutorials is that no one ever tells you where to get specialized materials, and no amount of googling or dark rituals can turn them up. As much as I can, I have provided direct links to online retail sources for the special tools used in this tutorial."
