Best Fill for Engraving?

Looking for pros and cons of filler materials folks use to fill or enhance engravings, laser cut or otherwise.

I use acrylic paint. It has excellent adhesion and you can buff it.

I use the colorfill from Laserbits. I also use their sealer. It works the best for me. I have also used the black powder coat material from HB for hundreds of pens. I works ok.

PearlEX powder with epoxy - can be sanded and polished and has all the typical properties of epoxy and lots of colors to choose from.

Acrylic paint - lots of colors and easy to use.

What do engravings look like with laserbit sealer, as compared to without? I've never used it and I'd like to see what it does look like...anybody have pictures?

I like inlace. It sticks hard, polishes like glass, withstands quite a bit of heat, you can drill it or spin it without any issues, and it's cheaper than epoxy..sure it's $30 for a quart, but how many $4 epoxy tubes will fit in a quart..I bet 20. I've had cans of inlace well over a year and they are still fine. just my two cents.
