Laser Engraving Process - The Steps

[CaseyK]

What is your process, the steps, for laser engraving a pen if you are then going to fill the engraving with colored CA?

Let's say I've got a blank turned. It is not sanded, just turned to the proper size/shape and now I want to engrave the thing with a name, such as a company or something. A single line of short text on the cap. Let's also add in that I want to add colored (brown, black, gold/whatever) CA into the engraving to make the text pop/be visible.

My initial thoughts, having never done a single bit of lasering anything would be:
A) Turn the blanks
B) Sand the blanks to almost the final grit(s)
C) Engrave the cap blank using the laser
D) Fill the engraving with whatever color CA. Since I am not as careful as I should be I will have CA that spills over outside of the engraved area. Makes it easier to fill the engraving with CA if I just slop the stuff on assuming my sandpaper will remove what doesn't need to be there.
E) Return the blanks to the lathe and sand away the excess colored CA
F) Final sand both blanks to the end grit
G) Finish the blanks with CA/whatever floats my little tiny boat
H) Trim and assemble

Is this a viable process when filling the engraving with some kind of colored CA? Or is there a more betterer way of doing this?

Sorry for asking hypotheticals here but, to quote that famous sailor Popeye - I yam what I yam - and I try to figure things out way before I'm actually ready to do them. Any help/guidance here would be greatly appreciated.

So I engraved a small Texas symbol a few years back into a pen. For one thing, the laser is burning the wood, not engraving. I had to laser the pen a couple times, take a toothbrush and brush out the charcoaled ashes until I was happy with the depth of the cut.
As for coloring, the only way I could color was to use mica powder. I put some of it in the lasered spot and then put thin CA over it and then sanded smooth.
So when using a laser, if done at the right speed and power, will leave a nice black laser burn. Coloring is a whole different chore.

RUB 'N BUFF is what I used to fill the engraving when I thought engraved names on pens was cool and nice looking.
