Gunsmithing Cerakote application question

[herro_prease]

When applying cerakote (or like finish) to an item that has engraved writing or other small, sunken niches that you don't want to coat (for example, the writing on a Schmidt & Bender scope, or the tritium hole in a night sight), how do you all cover these parts of the item so that the spray doesn't hit it, and you can remove the block after the curing is finished?

TIA.

I use painters tape on air cure and high temp tape from Brownells on oven cure
That and a sharp razor blade
or Xacto knife
Would wax work for air cure ?
Just a thought

I have always taped them off or if Im doing stenciles and I can cover them with a stencil I will. H-Series is the way to fly on scopes, keep temp at 150 degrees
