Hello, I'm a new member having joined a couple of days ago.
I have a couple of questions that I would like information on.
The first question, I am designing two inlays to place in/on stainless steel. The inlays will consist of platinum, gold, possibly silver. The one feature, (silver?) or some other material, I want in green in color, much greener then (green gold).
Is there an alloy that exists that can be inlayed , engraved and where the shade of green can be controlled.
Second question, my understanding is a dovetail cut is required to hold the finished inlay and with stainless steel, what would be the proper depth needed. These inlays are intented on either side a revolver and both inlays have a round feature in the center and will be with a convex surface.
Any help would be will received,
Thanks
