Help. I'm trying to engrave a stainless steel buisness card holder. It's stuck in a bed of thermo loc on top of the aluminum small item holder thing I got from Decamillius I think. Then I warmed a blob of thermo loc and put it inside and mashed the lid down as much as possible.
Problem is I can't get halfway around one scroll without the point breaking. I'm using that 116 universal of Steve's and I've really liked it from my limited knowledge. Of all the practice I've done on GRS practice stuff, dog tags, steel, brass, copper, a little sterling silver, I've never had a point fail, so I'm think (maby incorrectly) that it's not a technique thing. I've about screwed it up from the point breaking and my inexperienced hand skidding of all over the place. But fortunately they are cheap and I got 2. But I can't imagine they are made of real tough stuff.
