Re: TT for signs / front panels

2004-06-22 by joshdewinter

Hey Stefan and everyone.
  Long time no talk.  I have been going crazy with a number of things 
that have kept me away from the group for a while.  Now that I'm home 
and in front of a PC, I was clicking through messages and came across 
this thread that showed a sign you had made.  I know you've no doubt 
been asked this before, but have you posted the methods and materials 
you used for this particular transfer anywhere?  I was impressed with 
the sharpness and lack of visible pits, and was wondering if maybe 
anything had changed in the few months I've been off the group.

Thanks, and nice work.

-Josh
