Default Re: raised letters

the way i did raised letering was masking off all the red areas first only exposing the leters, shoot with black bake fill its just about melted over, pull off tape very carefully! use an xacto knife, dont keep in oven too long or tape adhesive will be left on the metal, after all the tape is off put back into the oven to cure completely, then let it cool back down clean all the read areas shoot the red and carefully whipe off the red powder off the letters using a damp painters spounge, keep spounge clean and not too wet, dont let it drip! after the letters are cleaned off bake.

heres how it came out on mine, i did the red first then the grey spounged the grey off the red then masked the red and grey together to do the black.


hope that helped
