Default Re: My method of wax transfer

Mike,
Great video. I recall that you showed me this method the first time we got together, but with plain chapstick, without the graphite added.

I later tried rubbing the engraving with a soft pencil, wiping off the exess, then adding the chapstick. The chapstick picked up the pencil dust oiut of the cuts and made a nice, visible transfer. It hadn't occurred to me to add powdered graphite to melted chapstick. I will try that.
