Experiment Learning curve

Well I tried putting a stamp on a le roi.

I took a piece of Teak and brought it down lower than the bushings (for glue) and sanded. Put a couple coats of CA on the Teak. sanded that down and cleaned it again. Put the stamp on and CA'ed again.

Learned a couple things.
1. Make sure stamp is centered on the blank, it is just a hair off
2. Make sure the tube is even across (the wood) before you put on the stamp.
3. Should have hand turned when I put the first coat of CA after the stamp is on.

There are a couple wrinkles in the stamp at the top, wife thought the CA was slightly cracked.

Any other tips?

I think we have identified your problem! Working with invisible component parts and invisible stamps. You are bound to get a few wrinkles!!

Finished up around 7:30 on it lastnight. Have a 6 year old sick, the 3 year old was full of energy, so pics were out of the question. Let me get one with my phone, HA
