I use laser printing as a transfer and transfer with dammar varnish and pharmacy acetone. I'll have to test it to see that the Grease you indicated would not remove the design, but anyway, this Grease is very useful to use after finishing and thus maintain the copper's shine.
This is one of the...
Hello thanks for the suggestion, but could you indicate me a type of soft steel and with little oxidation. I've used SAE 1020 1045 is very soft with 0.2% and 0.4% carbon.
I would like a mild steel that does not rust. Does anyone know what kind of steel the mint uses to engrave their stamp and...
Thank you, I just visited the link, I really liked it, there are several types of metals on plates. Now I just wanted to know if they ship outside the United States.
Thank you very much.

But I notice that I get more quality in these cuts without digging the burin too...
Dear engraver friends,
I'm new here on the Forum, and I'm still learning this art that I love. Attached in this post and images recorded by me. I use damar varnish for transfer, apply acetone on the back with a cotton swab and use a polish by rubbing until the design is transferred.
Then I...
