It was expensive me to afford steel capsule to protect my 24-word recovery phrase so I did myself. Guess what? I have bought some Bitcoin with that saved money :)

Nice! FYI, you only needed to scrape the first 4 letters of each word though. Could save you some time and energy if you do another one of these.
And numbering them in Roman numerals over Arabic numerals? Damn, I guess you really enjoy the scraping letter process?

Stamping is much more consistent and will save your hands a bit of pain. Also a decent idea is to split your 24 words into 3 groups of 8 (A = words 1-8, B = words 9-16, C = words 17-24). Make two copies of each set of 8 (ie 2 As, 2 Bs, 2 Cs). Then make three bolts, one contains a set of A + B, one is A + C, and a third is B + C. Hide them in different locations. That way if you lose one, or if someone finds it, they only have part of your phrase and not the entire thing. You (or a thief) would need any two of the three sets to recover/steal funds.

You can make it a bit easier by buying a stamp set like this one.

What did you use to stamp them?

I scraped it with a metal nail. It can make the thumb and index finger a little tired :)

Watch your fingers and separate extra circles. Sometimes you can make mistakes while scrapping
