question on painted numbers

I have tried numerous techniques, because I like it. If you want to 'really' see the stamping, then nothing.

Using white grease pencil, it stays kind of gooey - not my choice
Using actual lacquer pencils you buy, it does dry harder - it is very hard putting it in and slowly wiping away
many times the wipe away will pull the lacquer out, very irritating

A friend of mine uses a paint pen, it has a very fine point, so he can fill in the letter or stamp a little at a time, if you have to you can use acetone to remove any excess. It is harder to get out than lacquer but not permanent
