Rubber stamp "decaling"

[TinGoat]

Hi Ralph,

Wow! That's cool!

I don't think that anyone would notice that there was a problem until you told them.

But, since you pointed it out....

It looks like you pressed too hard on the initials.

You squeezed the ink out from under the letters and it ended up around the letters instead of filling them in.

You just need a lighter touch.

Stamps work better on porous surfaces that absorb the ink / paint, but with some practice I think that you'll do a great job.

When you make a jig to keep everything lined up, you'll be able to stamp two or three times in the same spot to build up layers of paint to make the letters more opaque.

But, I really like the way the letters look faded and weathered now...
