Instruction
Step1: Engrave your Pendant
This ones quite straight forward. Choose whether you want to leave the writing black, or want to backfill it with glow in the dark powder. If you you plan to fill it, use the “Emboss” XCS file.
If youre leaving it Black, your done after this step.
Step2: Glow in the Dark Workflow
I filled the embossed letters and lines with fine glow in the dark powder,
and then used matt clear enamel paint (02 from revell) thinned 50/50 with Tamiya enamel thinner so it soaks into the powder better. I then sprinkled on even more powder, and let it harden over night.
Step3: Sand away the excess / Seal the powder
After ensuring the Enamel paint has fully cured, I saded away the excess powder, and polished it to an even satin sheen. If you have gaps, repeat the filling process.
To seal it up add another layer of very thinned clear matt enamel paint over the lettering.
