I have a cylindrical engraver and use a diamond (I only use diamonds from Bruce Diamond) cutter. Use rub n buff for gold and silver (metal colors) glass paints (Hobby Lobby, etc.) for other colors. Engrave a little deeper for the paints vs the rub n buff. I've been dishwashing a couple of coffee cups with rub n buff since 1996. (Microwaved also) with no problems.

Thanks Zona,
I have a cylindrical engraver as well (Vision Max) but not set up for glass. Prefer to laser or blast.
I will give the fills a try! Always had grave doubts about longevity.

Don't laugh but I have found one of the best ways to remove the excessive rub 'n buff without removing from the engraving is .............. a hot breath. (doesn't work after eating ice cream ;-) ) Just 'huff' on the item and polish. (I always wash my items before packing so I don't have to worry about spreading germs. ) I've tried some thinners, WD, etc. but it will also remove from the engraving and takes more work to clean the glass for packing. My two cents.
