Seno lettering?

[dufo]

I have seen this stuff used on a few projects here...

They seem to not only have lettering for front panels, but also rub on surroundings for dials etc.

Where can you get this stuff from ?

Depends on where you live. Here in germany you can buy those sheets from a electronic supplier called Conrad Electronic.
Homepage is: www.conrad.de
That's where i buy the Seno letters for my projects.
They supply to people outside of germany but the minimum order is 50 Euros and if you only need those letters it will get hard reaching that amount.

It would be easier to answer your question if you put your location into your profile. :wink:

Ah! Thank you very much. I shall order some.

NOW...

Anyone got any tricks for getting that sort of lettering on STRAIGHT? I have used similar before and the way I did it , it was extremely hard to get it on straight...

there should be a line underneath each letter (on Seno this is at the edge of the paper)
Either draw a line on the front panel that corresponds to the bottom of the letters you want to draw or cut a piece of paper and tape that to the panel - the top will be the line

letraset is different as there may be a line underneath each letter a few mms down - use the same technique but print two lines on a pice of paper and use the bottom one as the guide

Thanks for all your help UK! :grin:

don't expect miracles....
you may end up with bits of non intended transfers all over the place where it accidentally has been pressed down

(it's funny - the force required to get a decent transfer that you want is fifty million times that of a transfer that you don't want ...
i.e. don't let a fly anywhere near your transfer area as the fluttering of it's wings will cause un-needed transfers)

another thing i have learnt the heard way - don't use enamel paint as your base and be very sparing with your overcoat spray - little and often
