摘要:
A dark-colored undercoating is deposited on a desired surface area of a glass workpiece, and a light-colored overcoating is applied upon the undercoating, each coating being dried in less than about 60 seconds. Then a plurality of related marks is recessed through the overcoating by ablation, as with a laser beam. Each of the undercoating and the overcoating is comprised of pigment particles and an alkali silicate binder. Unlike the prior practice, the undercoating contains an operative proportion of mica particles, and the overcoating is essentially free from mica.
