immiketoo Report post Posted June 22, 2017 Thats the right time to do it. What did you wet mold around? Usually I use that form to make the mark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually I use that form to make the mark. i made a mold out of 1 x 2 pine. I placed my piece on that and slipped a small piece of aluminum (smaller than my mark which was part of the problem) on top and struck my mark on that. wanted to be able to re-use the mold so was hesitant about striking the mold very hard because I thought I might break it.

immiketoo Report post Posted June 23, 2017 I think Pine would hold up just fine. I use MDF and its fine. Ive even stamped over one of my pocket knives, and it was ok too. Light taps until its set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
