: Thanks Robert.

: This sounds like the route I will take. I can paint the line work on top of
: the final epoxy coat then cover with various layers of varnish. With
: enough thin layers of varnish then I may not have to worry about sanding
: into the paint for some time.

: I started a test board last night which has well cured glass with one fill
: coat. The board was masked off using blue painter's tape to allow for 2
: parallel paint lines, one 1" wide the other 1/4" line. For
: extremes I hung the board vertically on the wall while I painted. A quick
: peek under the tape this morning indicated that there was no paint
: sneaking under the tape after the first coat. 2nd coat of Tremclad was
: added this morning.

: I will add varnish to my test board after the Tremclad drys.

: grant

Next time I need to do lines I'll try using the painters tape, sounds like it may have worked better than electrical.
