Thanks. I guess I use the vinyl paint because that's how Ron Ludwig taught me. I have poured and painted literally thousands of 2 oz Prune Picker slab spoons with him. I do have to package them individually but I have some on the shelf that are 13 years old and they look like I made them yesterday. I may need to try some Rustoleum paint and see how it works. Does it come in chartreuse ? I need to make some 1/2 oz spoons and could see how well it works. Do you use spray can rustoleum or liquid?
