What method did you end up using for color fill and clean up?</p> <p>I read this thread a little late to offer suggestions but, if you have to do this in the future I will give you one of my methods of paint and color fill. It is very close to what others have offered as suggestions. <br /> We use "application tape" same stuff we use to cover vinyl lettering. Most any brand /style will work - avaliable from most any sign supply company in cut rolls - pick your width. Cover plaque, mask and squeegee (rub) down.<br /> Laser, paint, allow to dry, peel mask using the fold back on itself method and peel off slowly. Centers and small parts - use a plastic squeegee wrapped tightly with paper towel, rub at an angle across the plaque - go a couple different directions if need be. Finish with a little pledge on a paper towel. </p> <p>Joe</p> <hr /><a name="a4898_17"></a><p><b>From: Funkmeister (FUNKY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4898.17">#17</a>]<br /> 25 Sep 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>Good morning all. Well I completed the plaques. I went ahead and used the masking method for these. I did a test run on the other thing I was talking about and it came out pretty good. A little melting but not that bad. With a little tweaking of the system it may work. Good coverage of the vaseline is a must. Now that I have a little time I might work on that aspect of the plaques.<br /> Thank to my daughter e got these plaues done Sat. p.m. She just loved picking out all the little pieces. She was so proud of herself. And yes she was paid for this. (oops, maybe I shouldn't have said that)</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4898.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4898.1">1-15</a>  16-17</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2026 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
