    Hi Dan, I have always used nail polish to mask off areas of metal
    that I am trying to protect from being polished, although I generally
    polish first and then do my texturing after so this is not a problem.
     In your case, I would try to fill in your recessed areas with
    several coats of nail polish, which should work if you are careful,
    and it easily dissolves in acetone. Alternatively, you may check with
    a glass supply shop for glass sandblating masks, as I understand they
    use a product that is rather rubbery and thick to mask off designs
    when sandblasting glass.  I hope this helps. 

Best regards,
John
