Hello, nice forums, wish I'd found them 6 months ago!
We have a customer who would like us to engrave a walkie-talkie and color-fill the engraving white. My problem is that our masking tape does not stick very well to the outdoor plastic (the kind with the little bumps all over) the radio is constructed out of. When I spray paint, the tape comes up and color bleeds everywhere, which can cause real problems if I engrave anywhere near important parts like buttons, speaker, etc.
I've searched everywhere for tips on doing this better, but came up empty. Does anyone here have any clues on what I should try next?
Thanks!
