Hi Polecat,

Could you please give a bit more detail to your method. E.g Is the meths used to clean the excess off and is the cellulose applied with "a soft cloth block" (whatever that might be).

I bought a couple of the Lacquer-Stiks but I'm not having much luck with them.

Cheers

Phil.

how big are the letters/engraving? cut up some card  corn flakes packet/beerpack cardboard are good 1"letters cut 2" square of cardboard thin the cellulose with a little thinners use the lid pick some paint up with the card and card across the lettering so the paint flows into the engraving scrape excess off now. with a block in the cloth twisted till you have a nice tight flat piece of cleaning cloth apply some meths to the cloth not too much just damp and rub it over the painted engraving when your good at this you can do it wet but if just learning wait till the paint dries the cloth must not be bobbly or fuffy cotton t shirt is good so is hankychief cotton  good luck it's a lot easier todo than explaine
