I had originally posted a question about lettering the plate on a piano after re-bronzing it. I followed the excellent suggestions from Pianotech, and ordered the rubber stamps and Slink Ink and stamp pad as suggested. I thought you might like to know the cost for these items. Medium Sized 6 band numeral stamp $44.05 (Special Order) small six band pricing stamp (with 1/2 size) $8.20 2 ounce bottle of Slink Ink $6.20 Industrial quality Ink pad $9.85 These items were not cheap, but they did the job perfectly! I would recommend this system for lettering the numbers on piano plates during the refinishing process. Thank you for all of your help. Sincerely, David A.
