This is my first effort on a small bottle with flat sides. I thought that would be best with which to begin. I tried to imagine what people would even want on so small a surface and figured it may be a gift to someone's girlfriend, hence the For: April
On the other side I decided to try some simple flourishes.
The problem with this whole thing is no matter what substance I used, Rub n Buf or that other brand, the frosted bottle means the excess won't wipe off. You can see in the lower right corner where I tried to use some acetone to remove the excess and after furiously rubbing that's all I got off. OH...lest I forget to mention when you rub hard it's going to remove from the grooves too. Lesson learned, frosted surfaces are a no-no for this type of thing.
The second bottle was easier. Its slick surface took the Rub n Buf well and a little extra rubbing with a clean cloth meant the excess came off.
These pics aren't great I know. It's just really hard to focus on the writing with the bent surface and the way light refracts.
I like the way this turned out but sure wish Dremel made some other burs of different sizes and points.
