The vinyl is a good tip. I've even used wide pieces of masking tape and gotten away with it
but something more durable, such as vinyl, would inspire more confidence.

Hi David

the vinyl also serve a dual purpose for me . If I am say engraving a 100 tags, I will lay a tacky mat on my bed, then a matrix made from a sheet of flexible plastic that I have routed out the shapes of the brass tags. Lay out the tags and then place the Vinyl on top. Sounds a bit of an ordeal but it works really well when deep engraving the brass.

My wife isn't impressed with the gold vinyl that I seem to trail everywhere - perhaps its time to use a new colour!

Still using those Autumn colors. I don't blame your wife. :-)
