    Wood engraved color fill

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if any of you out there have any recommendations for color filling wood after it's been laser engraved? I've tried masking, then spray painting, but it bled a little so the results weren't too great.

    I was wondering if there was a type of paint I can brush or squeegy over the engraving(non masked), wait a few minutes to dry a bit, then wipe the excess off with a wet cloth or something.

    I did read something on the ULS website about using powder paint and I'm currently giving that a try. The only thing I'm unsure of is because powder based paint is meant to be baked, how well will is stay in the engraving and how long does it need to set before I can wipe it away. I did learn that 5 mins isn't enough to cure since I tried to blow off the excess and it blew the powder out of the engraved portion. Here's the link I found...

    Thanks....
