Default Re: My method of wax transfer

Mike, this is the basic method that Frank Hendricks taught me when I visited with him in 1984. The only real difference is the transfer medium. He used fingerprint ink instead of wax. I have since used and recommended in my classes for the last 20 years what we used to call Prussian Blue, now commerically available as Dykem Hi-Spot Blue . A 2 ounce tube is darn near a lifetime supply. it would be for anyone starting engraving over age 40.

Frank was adamant on the Scotch tape too, and I have tried several modern variations myself since then and Scotch still wins hands down.
