Part 6/9:
- Stainless Steel or Titanium are preferred because they have high melting points and resist corrosion.
Metal backup methods:
Stamping: Using metal stamps and a hammer for manual embossing.
Etching: Creating detailed, permanent markings with an etching pen, often with the help of stencils.
Center Punching: Marking dots or symbols for each seed word.
Tiling: Assembling individual pieces, like Scrabble tiles, to spell out seed words.
Each method has own pros and cons; however, simplicity and durability are key. Darren advocates for minimal pieces to reduce the chances of losing or misinterpreting parts.
