Fluorescent inlay for engraving

[audiomobster]

I'm posting this, as I didn't find anything similar, just to share my experience.

 

I'm using fluorescent acrylic colours from Daler-Rowney for my engravings inlay. I stroke the colour from all four directions into the engravings with mixed results. After drying the colour I scratched away the rests with a fingernail and took some colour out of the engravings.

 

Aceton works better as you can see on the backpanel.

 

I'll apply the colour a second time then it should work.

Final result, I filled the missing pieces with a bristle brush. This works much better than a hair brush. Then I removed the protruding colour with a credit card and cleaned everything with Aceton.

Such a great Idea! I plan on doing this with my MB-6582 build. Made buying my panels significantly cheaper.

Thanks.
