WIFES gone and I`m Bakeing

Haven't tried it yet, but had an old guy tell me to use a wiper blade - put your wife's nylon stocking on it, apply the paint to the blade/nylon and just wipe it across... like you would with the hard rubber roller mentioned earlier.... he swears it works great and the wiper blade flexes enough to get the paint just over the edge of the crwon of the raised letters/numbers where it should be.....
