I am new to engraving and I'm having some difficulties transfering my designs to metal using acetone. I have recently ordered some applique paper for gunstock carving but don't know if this method will work on metal. I also have no clue how to get my designs onto blued metal since ink shows through black and would really like to find out. I have my designs ready for a colt 1851 replica but need a little help to get me started. :tiphat:

Try fingernail polish remover. Acetone is to aggressive for some toners. I take it you are using a laser printer.
