Heated Edge Creaser - on a budget

[Geoff]

I have been looking to improve the appearance and durability of the edges on my work.

I have done some research and find the required equipment varies tremendously in price. Are the cheaper (Chinese made) ones a viable choice costing less than £100?

Also, could a variable temperature soldering iron or pyrography pen be adapted to use creasing tips?

Thanks in advance for any advice

i meant why use heating when you can use other methods - some work better than heating

[Geoff]

Please let us know what method you are using, I would rather not spend money if I don't need to

Yes, if you have a better way of making a crease than heating the tool please share.
