Thought I should pop up a glamour shot of the inlay.
Basically the process has been:
* Glue in the inlay
* Fill the route - I used a "No More Gaps" style black acrylic filler that I'd had success with on a table top
* Numerous thick coats of black; I probably went a little over the top as I only had one shot at sanding it back (without getting into masking etc)
* Carefully sanding back, managed to get the MOP visible without sanding through the black but there were one or two dips in the filler
* Top coat with poly, sanding flat between coats
For a first effort I'm satisfied with that as a result. There was a slight colour difference between the filler & paint after sanding back but it’s not really noticeable under the clear.
Next step is doing the 'signature' logo in gold - I have a relative with a (large plotter style) vinyl cutter and I'm keen to try the stencil approach, does anyone have tips on how to go about this?
