Plate Lettering

[Farrell]

http://www.dickblick.com/zz213/12/  Medium point, black. I find them to work very well. You can wipe off boo-boos (not that I've ever had to do that...) for a few seconds before it starts to dry. Very easy to use. I use it after applying the gold, but before topcoating with clear.

  Hi All,

   

  This is a new thread RE Plate Lettering.

   

  What are some of the favorite methods out there these days? I have always used Black Enamel and a small brush, but I have never felt all that comfortable with it. How about black felt pens? 

   

  Also, any advice on letter/number transfers (from stationery stores, etc.) would be appreciated. Last time I tried this on a newly lacquered plate the transfers didn't really "take".

   

  Thanks

  Joel,

  I restored a Seeburg KT orchestrion with the 44-note piano in it for a customer who helped by learning how to recover a few pneumatics, polish screws, paint brackets, and generally clean things up. I charged him by the hour. I even re-strung the piano in his living room after he re-gilded the plate. I came out way ahead.
