I bought a really nice set of stamps and have a good impression on the
back of some beautiful forged wedges I’m doing.

The advantage to those old golfworks/golfsmith waxy/crayon markers was
that it filled the stamp. With Testors it seems like you need to do a
few coats.

Arnie,
The secret is to have someone else hold the stamp :-)

I have written to a friend for the name of the waxy nail hole
filler. Did a search and could not find the info. to help you.
It's not the weight of the hammer alone!
You must be able to swing the hammer and strike hard!
I have access to a 10 pound sledge hammer but can't swing it while
holding the stamp!
then wiping basically the whole shootin’ match off with the
acetone leaving a bit of color all over the back of the iron head.

Not to give you hammer envy, Arnie, but mine is a 4 pounder. lol.
I’m globbing the testors paint around the stamping, letting it dry,
then wiping basically the whole shootin’ match off with the acetone
leaving a bit of color all over the back of the iron head.

You must make your stampings deeper! Use a heavy hammer (mine is a
3 pound "drill hammer") strike the stamp ONLY ONCE and HARD! The
"paint sticks" you are looking for are used to fill small nail
holes as in picture frame making. You rub the stamping with the
waxy paint stick and wipe with a dry paper towel (no solvent) the
stamp must still be deep.
Check craft stores for the paint sticks.
Also when you do your current wipe use less acetone, less pressure
and rub across the stamped line so as to not remove the paint in
the stamping.

Golfworks (and maybe Golfsmith?) used to sell paint sticks to fill
iron stampings that were more like a crayon than acrylic paint
sticks they sell now.
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?
