[pianotech] plate finishing

[Encore Pianos]

Hi Del:

 

The one I used is the Shachihata Artline 440XF paint marker, which comes in
2 sizes, 2.3 mm and 1.2 mm.  The 2.3 mm lay the pigment down nicely and
covered well on one pass, the first 1.2 mm. didn't work at all.  I exchanged
it for another that did.  I think what I will do from now on is try the pens
in the store before I leave so that I can either get one that works or not
buy it at all.  I got mine from an art supply store, but they are available
online also 

 

I don't know how this stacks up against other good pens, but it worked
pretty well for me.  I lettered over my topcoat, as the urethane affects the
pigment in these pens, but it seems pretty fast in place.  

 

Will

No, actually they are not all about the same. A while back I purchased a
couple of these things that didn't work at all. They were billed as paint
pens but the paint ended up flaking off. I'd like to know the brand names
and the exact types of those that do work well.

Don't remember the brand. Probably all about the same.

I kind of figured the color.  What type of pen.

I don't know about Will, but the paint pens I use have paint in them that
would be disturbed by the solvents in a  top coat.

Will, 

 

Just to be clear, do you do your plate lettering just before the final coat
of clear?
