I was talking to Andy Birko, and he suggested I track down a dye that will stain shell (where it has been scored) Does anybody know what the name of this stuff is? Mike |

Never used it for that but I'm pretty sure blackened epoxy would do the trick. |

You mean for adding the dark lines to engraved shell? Its usually just india ink or other ink. Even a black crayon will work if you cover it with finish |

I think you're after Grit Laskin's filler. It's sold by LMI here: http://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/To ... iller.html cheers, SteveG |

Yes, that's it. Laskins filler. Is it compatible with water based finishes? |
