doublegunshop.com - home Forums Thread Like Summary - Did the India Ink fill (pics before and after).

Well after the suggestions given in the original post and from a couple DM’s I gave it the good old college try. I used Speedball Super Black India ink with shellac as it was the best quality available with the highest carbon black content in town. I am going to give it 24 hours to dry and then will give it a light dusting of matte lacquer clear. Once that sets up I’ll give the raised metal a buff.

Thanks everyone for your help.

You might consider what many engravers use, including me, and that is flat black oil based brush on Rustoleum after cleaning with lacquer thinner. You likely already have it. Pull it on, let dry for about 1/2 hour and rub off excess.
