Argh, I may not have answered your actual question.

All text can be converted to curves and or an image directly. Which order i did I dunno. Doesn't really matter. Once I had an image version, I applied a bit of Gaussian Blur then added Film Grain. Dragged it below the top text and...cannot remember what the layer blend mode was, but it is listed in the Appearance Panel.
