Very nice job Brenda Ann. What did you use for the dial material?
Tom
The dial material(s) in this case are some dial phenolic that I bought from
Mark Oppat's site which is serving as the solid back surface, and a sheet of
plastic transparency with the reconstructed dial face laser printed and
glued onto it with Scotch 77 spray adhesive.
I do it this way because I don't have a means to print directly to the
phenolic. I hope that someday I can find a way to do that, as it would make
things so much easier. On the other hand, when done this way, if the dial
face becomes too scratched or faded, it would be simple to print another
transparency and replace it.
Brenda,
Quite a nice job. You can get transfer material that can be laser
printed and allow you to transfer the work without the need for glue.
