<DIV> <FONT size=3>Thanks Phil</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> Same to you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> Sorry for the delay....Holidays &=
all. The product brand we use to letter the embossing on the pla=
tes
after guilding is" Zig " & it's called Painty twin. =
;
It's black enamel on one end & white on the other. I'm not sure if=
it
comes in black only. We got the pen at Michaels art supply.  =
; It
says Manufactured by Kuretake Co.LTD.......Japan Or just go on line &
see what you can find. The tip appears to be fine point made of
felt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> We have a more difficult time f=
inding
rub on numbers & letters decals for serial & model
numbers. Typically we have found them at graphic supply houses.
Archetects have used them but We haven't bought for a while. sooo dunno.&nbs=
p;
We have a procedure to get those on straight but I wont' go there
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> Lettering the plate with the zig product has beco=
me way
less tedious & looks professional. If one makes an error just wipe=
up
with mineral spirits & start over. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3> The decals are rubbed on & then sprayed=
over
with clear spray can lacquer or whatever.. We resort to drawing the st=
ring
size no.s on with the same pen as the embossing as the tiny no. de=
cals
aredifficult & troublesome to handle, being that small. Hope =
this
helps.</FONT></DIV>
