You must make your stampings deeper! Use a heavy hammer (mine is a 3 pound "drill hammer") strike the stamp ONLY ONCE and HARD! The "paint sticks" you are looking for are used to fill small nail holes as in picture frame making. You rub the stamping with the waxy paint stick and wipe with a dry paper towel (no solvent) the stamp must still be deep. Check craft stores for the paint sticks. Also when you do your current wipe use less acetone, less pressure and rub across the stamped line so as to not remove the paint in the stamping.

I’m stamping/ paint filling some wedges and the acrylic paint tends to want to disappear when I try and clean up the area around the stamping with acetone. Any ideas?
