I'd personally stick with the Lindsay products for the reason: accessories are a big plus, service......again service is top notched. His will allow many grs things to be used also, not true the other way.
With the help and tips from all, including Mr. Sam, I believe I will side step a bunch of needless work and get to the sweet spot. I am going to step into this part of my engraving journey soon.
O.K...........I love this. I've read and thought I understood that after each color added, the thing to use was 4-0 steel wool? Now my buddy TOS gave the tip about wax..............does the steel wool still apply? #1 coat piece with wax after desired prep: add color etc. steel wool now...
I have tried almost all available films. The best yet for me that is, is the Fixion and Dykem white. The Fixion looks and feels like all the rest, I just feel when the film hits the steel/s.s/copper, it transfers better. I also use less pressure during burnishing too. Rob
