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.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Terry Farrell<o:p></o:p> </div> <blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid black 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt; margin-left:3.75pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt'> <div> ----- Original Message ----- <o:p></o:p> </div> <div style='font-color:black'> From: <a href="mailto:gravagnegang@att.net" title="gravagnegang@att.net">Nick Gravagne</a> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> To: <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org" title="pianotech@ptg.org">'Pianotech List'</a> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 4:21 PM<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Subject: Plate Lettering <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> Hi All,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> This is a new thread RE Plate Lettering.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> What are some of the favorite methods out there these days?
