I have used several different labeling techniques over the years. I
would advise using polypaper instead of acid free paper if you want to
go that route. I prefer laying down a stripe of dilute B-72 then using
acrylic paint (white for dark objects and red or black for light
objects) paint the number, then a top coat of B-67. There really isn't
a need to pigment the acryloid resin.
Cheers!
