Aufero 2 5.5 watt 2500/65 for both pieces. The work MUST be coated (polyurethane or similar) afterward because borax is very sooty.

I'm not saying you shouldn't use the borax method but there are other techniques available which may do the job better or at least more easily. Both a higher LPI and outlining look really good to me and they just simply work. YMMV.
