ROUTING

[user 19915]

;I;m thinking of routing someone,s name on a bench i made; what i would like to know is could i then paint the name and some how protect the painted name from the element,s of nature ???

You could apply a varnish or lacquer over the once dried painted area for extra protection and also use a decent exterior quality paint in the first place.

you can certainly rout it, but given that you are asking the question, i would suggest a lot of practicing on scrap first. It isnt the easiest of tasks and would be far easier with a sign writing template.

Yes it would be a good idea i think i better price these tempt plates

If you are painting in the letters and then using a glaze/varnish/lacquer to protect, do make sure paint and top-coat are compatible.
It's worth doing a test on some scrap to make sure.
