I have a decent sized acrylic panel to engrave and color fill. The paper masking I have is few inches short. I could seam it, but in my experience that shows up. There are no big "gaps" in the text to strategically put a seam either.

Anyone have any positive experience engraving through the stock protective masking? This acrylic happens to be what I believe is Chinese acrylic (not Chemcast like I normally get) and the masking seems thinner as a result. I'm hoping I can engrave through the masking and paint fill after.
