John, another thought on the paint fill--try call/e-mail to Ralph Maltby. He was the one providing most of this type of supplies for us club guys and may have a source. I've thought about doing that on some other unique needs but haven't tried it. If you are successful, I'd sure like to talk to him!

I,ve gone to "Testors" paint applicators made for modelers. It is a liquid rather than a stick but it fills and covers nicely. I get mine from a local hobby shop so you might try that. You could also try online search. Another alternative is auto touch up paint-not as good as Testors but will work. Good luck!

I’m stamping/ paint filling some wedges and the acrylic paint tends to want to disappear when I try and clean up the area around the stamping with acetone. Any ideas?
