Subject: Re: Bandspread Dial lettering - horror!
Nelson,
I recreated a glass dial scale that came out OK. Got some scrap glass from a glass shop, cut several blanks. Printed the scale as an overhead transparency on a LASER printer for permanence. Laminated the transparancy film to the back side of the glass using clear silicone RTV used for aquariums. The silicone was a small tube from Walmart for $3-4. Start with a line of silicone in the center of the glass, squish the transparency down into the RTV, and work it down to a thin layer while working any bubbles out to the edges. Your scale being all black should work pretty well with this technique. You must Sign in before you can post messages.
