Plate Lettering

[Nick Gravagne]

Thanks Terry,

 

I just ordered a few of the pens you suggested. I have been familiar with
Dick Blick supplies for some time now. I get all my specialty posterboard
and plastic sheets material from them.

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.
