Simes Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I have a piece of mahogany to engrave in 7mm characters with white paint infill. I've been experimenting on a spare piece and not happy with the quality of the paint finish. not sure if it's bubbles or debris I've missed. I am basically engraving through a vinyl covering then brushing our the dust and then spreading the paint into the engraving. I let it dry and then peel off the vinyl. Anyone know how I can improve my techinique or a different techique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom D Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 seal the engraved wood with clear laqcour before you paint it prevents bllding into the grain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
