Hey, Dave. Thanks lots for letting me know that ink. I made a note of it and I'll for sure be purchasing some. Sounds like it's really durable! Oh and thanks also Doc for the advice, I'll try some Rustoleum flat black paint too. Yes you are right, it needs to dry and hard and not stay wet and damp and maybe that has been part of my problem too. That's some great advice you gave and I really appreciate it. ZZcutter, that process you told me is worth a try too. Thanks a lot!
Pete B, I was doing some bulino on some buffalo nickels. I'm getting some better results now with the advice here and hope to soon have this hurdle overcame and try doing some other things too. I'm curious about the heat oxidation, that sounds like it makes it permanent, almost a part of the base metal. Beathard and SamW, thank-you also for the advice on the renaissance wax with a dash of lamp black. I'm making note of that to try too. I did use renaissance wax after inking and that didn't work too well, so that sounds like a better way to do it, mixed in with the wax. I know that stuff dries hard too, so it should also be durable. Hi, Layne...just read your post along with all the others I'm addressing and I'm going to buy some "Rub n Buff" now. That sounds like it has good potential. I'm adding that to my list and going to try all of these to see which works best for what I'm doing. I'll fur sure watch what I get it on where it's so hard to get off. Anyway, I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful advice, this place sure is the best for getting help and I know where to come to with any problems I may run into. Thanks for everyone and also for those I may have missed and not gotten to thank, I still read everything.
