Plate Lettering

I use a 'fluid writing pen' which I purchased at an art supply store.
It consists of a handle with a small cup on the end with a fine tube
coming out the bottom of the cup. Fill the cup with fluid, mark you line.
I have two sizes of pens (tubes).

I letter with PianoLac (waterbased). The high gloss does not require
a topcoat since it is so durable.

The fun starts on the "Trade Mark" on the treble curve.

Regards,

Jon Page
