[R-390] filling engravings

Where I work, we make engraved labels of plastic.
We fill the letters, one of two ways:

1) Rub with a wax crayon, like children colour books with;
then rub off the excess.

2) Wipe/fill with an oil based paint; when nearly dry
wipe off the "smear" with a lightly varsol'd rag.
Wait between wipes, or you'll start pulling the paint
out of the engraving.
