Hey everyone, long time no talk.
I have a question about marking the acrylic to do 3d inlay designs.
I am going to put a hypothetical here, to help you understand what I am going to ask.
I have a client that wants a certain shape worked into the smile line in acrylic. (think window smile lines) Say they want a heart in the smile line vs a circular window. I have put the thin base layer of acrylic to prevent having to file coloured acrylic/ glitter.
I want to "sketch" the heart onto the base layer acrylic, without causing problems with adhesion and chemical makeup of the acrylic. I was thinking of lightly drawing with graphite pencil, but I am unsure if having this fine layer of graphite pencil encapuslated in the acrylic will cause problems.
I look forward to your replies and opinions.
Regards, Jojo
