I much appreciated the input on common wire sizes in my previous posted thread. Here is the next thing that I have to chew on and figure out...
When you've designed something and have specified that certain portions of an engraving will be in gold... if you've drawn some layout lines on your work, they could easily become destroyed after stoning and refinishing the piece after the gold/copper/other metal is inlayed.
I wonder how some of you address this issue of having to refinish the surface (which can potentially destroy layout lines) after doing inlay work.
Do you re lay out your lines?
Just to clarify... I don't need suggestions on refinishing the metal... that part is generally pretty simple using stones, sandpaper and the like... my difficulties are in regards to destroying layout lines and how others deal with this.
I would appreciate your thoughts in this regard...
p.s. Here's my first 24k inlay...
