RE: Module Edge Markings (was the UI thing, guh)

2002-09-05 by mate_stubb

I have thought long and hard, and there are three schemes I can come 
up with:

1. Paint it. Unfortunately permanent.
2. Plastic or metal overlay (your exact idea)
3. Plastic or metal edge channel

Your idea would work, but somebody would have to manufacture the 
stuff. Also, I'd have to see it actually on some modules to decide if 
the mounting tabs are unsightly. One bonus is that the tabs could 
help prevent rack rash.

For edge channel, the problem is finding stuff thin enough. You can 
buy brass or aluminum 1/8" channel, but it's too thick to keep the 
modules on the MOTM rail grid.

Lately I've been thinking about a thin foil, with adhesive on one 
side. Anybody know where I could get a material like this?
