Hmmm...


Ok, I´m a little disappointed there with the "rock-hardness" of the silver/grey milliput. It dried out nicely, and after sanding of the residue, a nice T is visible (at least as nice as can be expected considering that I kind of suck at engraving precise shapes with a large chisel). But after I put the nail of my thumb in it, it was quite easy to scratch it... imagine what a nice nickelbound .046 string will do :(


So next try...

I engraved another letter ("E" this time, since it comes after "T" in test). This time I used a borrowed Dremel, with a bit far too large to do any fine work, but the result is way better than me hacking the poor old piece of pine to shreds. This time I´ll use the superfine white grade Milliput. Since I bought it anyway, might as wel try it.
We´ll see what this one looks like after sanding it tomorrow!
