Restoring Lettering to Stamped Names
A number of years ago I read a post somewhere on a method to restore names and ad copy that is on pens and pencils. It involved a material that was used as a filler to fill in the stamping. At the time I had no interest in the process.
Now that I do, I can't find the infoormation. I have looked and looked. I think the material may be something found in an arts supply house. Does anyone have any idea how this is done?...or any other way to restore this lettering? Thanks Halfhyde |

Thanks Halfhyde That's something I've never done, but possibly something wax-based would work -- work it in and wipe any excess off the surrounding surface. Possibilities might be high-quality artist's crayons or scratch-filling "pencils" for furniture. There's also a paste-form product in a tube, incorporating carnauba wax, called "Rub 'n Buff". That may only come in metallic colors like gold, I'm not sure. Brian -- |

Brian, I decided to call the local Hobbyland and see if they had any ideas. They did. The lady I talked to said that she thought goldleaf would work and when she said goldleaf a light bulb came on. That is what I had been told to use years ago, but could not remember.. I am going to try that out. Hopefully that will work on the gold lettering but I am still looking for a solution for white lettering, which is probably the most common color used. She did not have a solution for that one. |
