    Question: Throwback to an old thread

    Several of you mention silence - It is no longer much of an option for me - I seem to have a built-in background noise that is not much fun to hear - tinnitus. At one time it reminded me of crickets or cicadas and was not too loud - now it more akin to a tiny chorus of screamers. I agree with...

    Seecamp stainless

    Lee, I remember reading that the Seecamps were hard - (but so it seems that all of the SS that comes under my gravers is very hard!). Here is an earlier post about them: https://engraverscafe.com/threads/l-w-seecamp-slide-pics.3128/#post-30988

    Transfer magic not sticking

    TLP Make sure the transfer magic is well shaken (mixed). Apply the solution with a fresh Q-tip. Do not apply too thickly - a relatively thin application works the best. Good luck.

    17-4 stainless anyone?

    Thanks Mike, The Glock slide I engraved was 416 Stainless that cut as nicely as any Stainless that I have engraved. I do not know the engraveability of 17-4, but suspect it could be hard since 17-4 is used for items that require hardness and corrosion resistance (Wikipedia), however it is...
