I'd always thought you sharpened up the edges by re-sanding the letters after the paint was dry? :?

Who was it that was the expert on wrinkle red covers on here again? :think:

I wouldnt have even bothered masking the letters up. I cure it all off, and then go over the letters with 180grit on a block then 320, then 600, then 1000 and so forth. All on a big block.
