Members Engine1 Posted January 17, 2017 Members Report Posted January 17, 2017 I'm looking for ideas on methods and techniques on painting and outlining 3-D Letter stamps Quote www.engine1leather.com #engine1leatherwork
Members Halitech Posted January 17, 2017 Members Report Posted January 17, 2017 not sure it's the right way but I got an acrylic paint pen from Elmers that I use to paint the edges. I let it dry then use a thin,wet piece of fabric on a plastic paint scraper to rub off the excess. Then I paint the actual letter Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
Members Engine1 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Members Report Posted January 17, 2017 thanks I might give this a try Quote www.engine1leather.com #engine1leatherwork
Members JerseyFirefighter Posted January 17, 2017 Members Report Posted January 17, 2017 Needle tip paint bottle applicators. 20 gauge needle for all around letter painting.. and a 22-24 for very fine detailing. That and painting a few thousand letters with it and you'll never understand how you did it with a brush every again.

Members Engine1 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Members Report Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks do you have a recommendation on suppliers Quote www.engine1leather.com #engine1leatherwork
Members JerseyFirefighter Posted January 20, 2017 Members Report Posted January 20, 2017 I do not as my experiences have been using ebay (in which suppliers come and go) If I could only get the bottles I found last year. Essentially it is key to find bottles that accept replacement tips... as if youre not careful with cleaning and storing your bottles with paint in them it will ruin the tip.

Members DJole Posted January 20, 2017 Members Report Posted January 20, 2017 Perhaps colored Sharpie markers (which use a permanent, spirit-based ink) may work for you? I haven't ever used them, but I have heard that they can be used. Quote \D. Jole \ --> <http://djole.altervista.org/djole/Publications/Leather/Lindex.htm>

Still need a steady hand. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted January 20, 2017 Contributing Member Report Posted January 20, 2017 I use gel-ink pens. Available in many colours as well as gold and silver. Tips are fine enough to go along the groove made by some stamps. Only takes a few seconds to colour in an area. After they dry for at least 24 hours I give the area a quick coat of 'Pledge with Future shine' acrylic floor varnish to seal the ink Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
