Zephyrtronics makes a hot air pencil that is
used in paper conservation that is quite good. Its pricey -- about
$800. I'm not sure if it can be used to create humidity, but you can
contact Mario Perez there and ask. They are in Pomona,
California. Sorry, I don't have a number.

Subject: Steam pencil
I am interested in
purchasing a steam pencil or humidification tool that would work well with
three-dimensional textiles. This tool would ideally have temperature controls
and be able to produce vapor or steam in a precise manner. If anyone knows of
such a tool and where I could purchase one, please contact me. Thank you.
