Topic 1

After the camp I've (my wife) decided to try my hand (again, my wife's hand) at Sculpt Nouveau. No specific project in mind except to coat a wood and/or MDF carved item to make it look like iron/copper w/wo patina etc... (did I mention my wife will be doing this?)

I'm thinking I need to order the Metal kit and the Patina kit. Using that we can find what we really want and order specifics later.


Topic 2
I have the CNC cutting knife Russ (Widget Works) sells and have done pretty much nothing but look at it. My wife wants to etch glass so advice?
What cream is best? (and where to get it)
What mask material is best? I have Oracal 810, will that work?

Thanks

Give the folks at Sculpt Nouveau a call. I found they were very helpful on the phone.

We went with the full starter kit and were very pleased with the value and range of samples.

Robert....

Do a Google search on a product called "Rub-N-Buff".
Engravers use it ....

I allways use this for small proyects, you can reused, aply on glass surface and after 10 minutes or so remove and put it back on the container.http://www.etchworld.com/ccp0-prodshow/15-0150.html
