Rub n Buff

[Brian Robison]

Just a quick note to say how impressed I am with this product. I tried it on a glass I engraved and ran it through the dishwasher and was amazed to see that the color fill was still there! I expected the Rub n Buff to be completely gone.:)

Brian, I found that it will generally last three to four washes on a libbey glass coffee mug... Concur - I was impressed...

[Brian Robison]

Yes, I'd put a disclaimer with it about washing. It really stayed on better than I thought it would.

Depends alot on the dishwasher really. One I did for a neighbor had been washed 15-20 times before we noticed a change. However I was able to notice after 1 wash in my dishwasher. However it has some super sanitization cycle or something on it.

where are you buying the product from?

Can buy it at just about any craft store, I think. Last time I got some I think it was off Ebay.

Our local Hobby Lobby only carries silver and gold, but treelineusa.com has 20 colors @ $4.29 each.

A few months ago, someone started a thread about using it on Cermark. I tried it and the rusults looked promising, but I don't do a lot of Cermark stuff right now. It would be nice to be able to offer engraving on metal in different colors than black though.
I also tried it on anodized aluminum with good results as long as there is a clear coat on the aluminum. Otherwise it just stains the anodizing. The Maglite I tried it on had a clear coat and that way, the Rub-N-Buff stayed only on the engraved part. Immagine all the possibilities with 20 colors of RnB and all the colors of anodized Al. I wish I could think of some markets. :(
Has anybody else tried this?

I looked up the rub n buff product on line and noticed they offer a sealer that also works with the rub n buf product. I wonder if this would increase the durability of the fill? I think I will pick some up the next time I am at the hobby store. If I do I will report back.

I recently bought a Rub 'n Buff sampler set off Ebay for $45. It consists of 20 standard tubes (1/2 fluid ounce / 15 ml each) in all the different shades they offer. I thought it was a good deal, especially since I couldn't decide what shades to purchase...
