Harvey, I have also found that using electrical wire nuts instead of the plastic cap works better. Seems the wire threads inside the nut give a better seal than the plastic threads on cap. I've kept tubes up to a year this way.

Ed, since I just registered tonight I know this is to late for your problem you posted, but for future reference. I have used acrylic enamel indoor/outdoor gloss by Plaid. 2 oz. cost apx. $1.00 can get at Walmarts, or craft stores. I've used it for filling engraved plastic and glass. I specially like it when I need to 'custom' match, since this paint is pourable you can mix colors to make your own - and save the left over for future reorders.

Thank you, Zona, for your response. And thanks for the suggestion regarding "Plaid", although I've not heard of it here on the West Coast. Ultimately, I gave up on Rub-N-Buff for the particular project I was working on (laser-engraved high density hardboard Home Plate photo plaques for Little League sponsors). I masked the pieces with plain old light tack masking tape, lasered the text and then sprayed the "fill" area with Krylon Ultra Flat black paint. The plaques came out beautiful and were well received.

Zona,

Welcome, it is nice to see someone from my area. Topeka is only about 30 miles from me.

This is a good forum, I am sure you will enjoy it, I know I do.
