Hi,
Can someone with experience in filling in pre-engraved parts give me an idea of how much experience / skill it takes? I wouldn't dare attempt to actually engrave something, as I realise that takes a lot of knowledge, but can the same be said of in-filling? Can an amateur get similar results to a pro, assuming the engraving itself is good? I would need acetone to wash away over-spill, right?
If I wish to in-fill white lettering, can anyone post a suggestion for the ink / paint itself, and the tool to apply it? How do you judge which tool to use?
Likewise, if this is a job best left to pros, please tell me bluntly.
Thanks in advance.
