Default Source for very small rub-on lettering?


"SX-25" wrote in message

Hello Brothers of the Glow,

I am restoring some Hallicrafters dials that have experienced damage to
the silkscreening of the numerals and the slide-rule line. I've
successfully re-lined the dials and added the tick marks but I am needing
rub on letters that are approximately 0.046-inch (3/64-inch) tall. The
smallest black rub on lettering I have been able to find is 2.5 mm high
which is too large to match the other numerals on the dial.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

I have had excellent results using my CAD program to generate the artwork
and then printing to water slip decal paper. The substrate of the resultant
decal is very thin and thus edges virtually unnoticeable. Small Parts also
sells a liquid that can be applied to make the substrate disappear entirely
( I have not tried this)..
