I am working on a project and need to label a chassis. I have used

Microsoft
Visio to create a template for the front
and rear of the chassis. I then printed those images on transparent

labels.
They look nice but I have two problems.
First if the ink gets damp at all it smears and second its difficult to
apply the label to the chassis without air pockets
forming. I would like to hear from someone that has done this kind of work
and find out whats the best way to label
a project chassis.

Take a look at Letraset dry transfer lettering. www.letraset.com A really
good specialist stationery shop should have it - or try asking at
signwriting firms.

I used the decal materials available from Micro-Mark (micromark.com)
with good results. When using these I found is was important to
*read* the directions, *follow* the directions, and be patient. It took
two tries, but when I was finished I had an extremely professional-
looking panel.

BTW, I followed up with 3-4 thin coats of clear, flat Krylon spraypaint.

HTH,
