Sam, you are giving away your age. That is what my dad used and my grandfather. I am 74 and I have used this type of wax off and on for years. Still use my Dads. Jack

Jack: I might try my goofy wife's recipe of goat sweat and spit. We don't have a goat so I'm not sure where she gets it. I also wonder if the spit is goat spit or human spit.

It's never a dull moment around here as you might imagine.

Sam and Abigail,
The very best spit to combine with the goat sweat is camel or llama spit.
A little goes a long way.........!
Just let me know if you need some....I have a lifetime supply.

 

[Abigail]

I know we can always count on you, John. :thumbs up: Thank you.

No problem at all, Miss Abigail.
Just trying to be helpful.
At your local Zoo the camels and llamas often supply complementary samples.

Thanks folks, and I'm happy you're enjoying and learning from the video. Lettering is an excellent skill to have and many engravers don't place enough importance on it.

I was recently delighted to see an example of Tim Wells' lettering. I am really impressed with his control and execution.

Thanks for that Sam, I'm delighted that you liked it. I hope you can get some use out of that thing, that's a limited edition you know...:big grin:

Lettering is something I enjoy and constantly strive to get cleaner each time, sometimes I get away with it and other times, well...
