More Information About
Stampbord
Stampbord can be stamped,
etched and sanded. It takes ink very well. We've had success with all dye based
ink as well as StazOn and Marvy Brush Markers. They look great when aged with
walnut ink, as well. You do need to seal the surface upon completion of your
artwork. We used a spray matte fixative, but the manufacturer also recommends
an acrylic varnish or polyurethane. We found that some dye based inks ran on
the surface with brush-on sealers but worked well with very light coats of spray
fixative.
Finishing the Edges
The
edges of the Stampbord are somewhat raw looking. You may wish to finish them
off for a more polished look. Here are some ideas:
1) Color the edges with a black sharpie or other permanent marker
2) Use a metallic paint pen to finish the edges
3) Wrap Metal tape around the edges and fold it over the top edges to make a
stained glass type of edge
4) Use 1/8" red liner double-sided tape around the edges and cover the
edges with micro marbles
