[Boatanchors] Engraved Panels

[Russ WQ3X]

Hi Joe -

I use latex ceiling white paint and a small squeegee (3/4" x  2") cut from a 
piece of  1/8" thick silicone rubber. Apply with squeegee - wait - remove 
excess with a damp cloth. If you screw up just do it again. You want the 
letters to look smooth. That is why I don't like spackle or those lettering 
sticks. Makes it look terrible.
