Softer and easier to work into an incised image.<br /> <br /> The drawback of using filler sticks, is that they dry <i>flush</i> with the surface of an item. That means the filled area is subject to getting dirty, as opposed to enamel-filled images, where the paint dries slightly convex, thereby avoiding direct contact with fingers or anything that may soil the image.<br /> <br /> To touch-up an image, colored with a filler stick, requires digging out some of the old fill.<br /> <br /> To touch-up an image, colored with enamel, simply add more paint and clean.<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 12 Apr 2007 by DGL</p> <hr /><a name="a6624_5"></a><p><b>From: Phyllis (TXTWYST)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6624.5">#5</a>]<br /> 12 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>the lacquer sticks. the cheapest place i found them was at the link i posted.</p> <p>aside from being messy (or am i the messy one?), they seemed to work great.</p><hr /><h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
