Nice to see you posting some engraving, Dave

How tough was the Explorer to cut? One of these days I'll engrave my GMT.

Hi Dave

Very nice indeed!!

How did you find the ceramit to work with?

Cheers
Andrew

The bezel was soft, the case and back a little harder but not bad. Go for the GMT. I had to make a dog leg for one of my dividers to scribe the 1/2 mm borders. Oh yea forgot had to make 120 gravers about 1/10 mm at the face. Only 4 mm between the borders quite a challenge.

Ceramit was a trial and error the instructions said to mix 60/40 resin to color but that mix was too stiff to brush, I used the 50/50 mix and it was a lot easier to brush, I used the smallest brush I had and kind of daubed it in the cut outs. The good news is you can sand the stuff I used the plastic backed micro sand papers after baking in a toaster over at about 180 f for 90 min and let it cool. Also thanks for the advise on the shading .Dave
