Markal Lacquer-Stik Paintstick, White

This was just right for what I needed it for. Took a while to arrive (from the US) but when it did, it exceeded expectations.

I used this to fill-in and restore the original engraved lettering on the polished Bakelite bases of some antique telegraph keys. It applied easily, enhanced the engraving with a brilliant white that looks original and the fill cured quickly and doesn't smear. Application is simple and quick and cleans up with no trouble. It's perfect and I'm very happy with it. Just an additional thought for potential users: the primary surface must be smooth and not rough. If it isn't smooth, you will get white lacquer in the rough surface around the etching or engraving and it will be difficult to clean up. I mention this because of some of the unhappy comments a few other reviewers have made.

I've been 3D printing dice, and these are filling in the numbers. Does a great job, and it pretty quick to do.

Have a gun and love your receiver's markings but they are kinda hard to see. This is better than what ever crayon or nail polish you were going to use for your engraving. 1st use needs some rubbing to get the paint to start working. How to 1st clear area Rub over to give it a good layer I use mr.clean magic easier to clean up the paint along with a paper towel ( both are damp not wet or else paint will spread) Fill in again as needed if paint was removed Repeat until satisfied I found that the depth of the engraving determines how much paint is removed when I clean. Cons Breaks - my fault as I held it too hard Paint gets everywhere if your not careful ie hands then elsewhere I found that leaving the paint over night only makes it harder to clean up

Arrived quickly, used to fill in etched markings on WWIi era Morse Code Telegraph J38 key. Initial results look good. I have a Navy Flame Proof Morse Code Telegraph key that needs the model number etched to be filled in still - that will be a challenge.
