I was wondering what people use to highlight the engraving, such as this where the cut out parts are black and the engraving itself remains the metal. Is it just a paint or laquer? thanks... p https://www.lorisinternational.co.za/fir...ngs-page-3.html

When I do French gray finishes, taking the bluing off the scroll, the background has been stippled with a single point tool and remains somewhat dark but to highlight the engraving I mix a very small amount of lampblack into some Renaissance wax and give it a couple of coats, then two more without the lampblack. Gives good protection and highlights the engraving. Sam Welch
