YOu can get a sign making store to cut stencils from either a picture or vector text. I use the white stuff to make a foredeck nav. slate. Just cut out a rectangle (or whatever shape suits your fancy), and peel-n-stick it on the foredeck--mine's over my right knee...since I'm right-handed! Would an acetone wipe cut the 303? A tip I got from the sign guy I bought the vinyl from: you can mark on the vinyl with a Sharpie marker, and it won't come off at all under normal use. When you want to erase it, spray it with hairspray (aerosol can--contains acetone) and wipe it right off. For normal use, I use a Stabilo 'Aquarellable' waterproof pencil. You can find them at a local drafting supply store. The mark doesn't wash off easily, and it will write when wet--even on glass or smooth plastic. China marking pencils work well--I've seen eyeliner pencils used too, but they leave a bit too much residue for my taste. On the boat, that is ;) Shawn __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.

I had some older vinyl for a boat restored with graphite/epoxy mix and the vinyl didn't stick at all. -- gabriel l romeu ø http://studiofurniture.com ø ø http://journalphoto.org ø ø http://kayakoutfitting.org ø ø http://kayaknavigation.com ø *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
