Now that I can engrave my own panels… I was thinking of how to infill them - paint is too messy and fiddly, ink would be the same, then I saw my daughter’s art materials box, and had an idea !!!
The technique is simple and gives excellent results:-
Rub a wax crayon of the colour you want the infill to be over the engraving, making sure there are shavings over the letters.
GENTLY heat the wax with a heat gun on low setting, until the wax melts and runs into the letters.
Allow to cool and set.
GENTLY buff the area with a soft cloth to remove the excess wax left over.
The beauty of this technique is that if there are any spots that didn’t get covered, simply repeat the process.
Here are a couple of photos of my first test engraving, now infilled using this technique.
