[R-390] Panel Lettering question

Hey Folks,

        Anyone have any experience with baking a painted panel with the 
lettering filled with lacquer stick?  Will the lettering set or harden when 
baked?

My hope is to overshoot the panel once cooked with a clear satin acrylic.

I tried a nice ultra white acrylic craft paint to fill the letters but the 
stuff dried so fast it was near impossible to get off the panel just seconds 
after wiping it into the engravings.  While working to get it off the panel 
it pulled all the paint out of the engravings.  It's water soluble until it 
dries....like in seconds when thin.  Had to use polishing compound to get 
the stuff off.  Lacquer stick worked fine but I'd like to be sure it's going 
to firm up and be able to take the overspray of acrylic.

Cecil...
