How to paint letters cut in porous stone?
Thanks for all advice. The method with sealer seems apropriate to me and I
will do some experiments with it.
Though what Charles wrote ..... rubberized stencil material ... cut easily
with razor knife or your
carving chisels... is interesting. Do you (Charles) mean that you print the
text onto the rubberized stencil material , then fix it to the stone and cut
the stone through the rubber?????
It makes me think of a method I am experimenting with, in order to skip
the tedious work of copying printed letters onto the stone: I deliver a
jpeg-file containing an image of the text to a guy who prints this image to
the stone (belgian limestone) using lasertechnique. This leaves a gray image
onto the dark-black stone; I only have to carve the letters. This method is
cost-effective to me and frees me from the less interesting part of
lettercarving.
