Even the clear ones "show". What you really need is a contrasting color "rub-on" kit of letters and numbers. YOU MAY be able to get from an office supply and are relatively cheap. They are a pain to put on, as each letter has to be "rubbed on", but will look best. Once the wording is on, you have to "clear coat" or you will have letters that wear off easily. You might ask an Avionics repair station for suggestions/prices. They have to "do it right". and your new dash should be done "right". Just one man's opine.

There are companies, even auto body decal shops, that make decals. Look on the internet. Also, there are label makers you can get from places like Staples, that make labels. There is even software you can get to print labels on your computer. Gary Any other ideas from Team Grumman? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:06:45 PM PST US From: Aucountry@aol.com Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Re: Stand back, housewife stepping in --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: Aucountry@aol.com In a message dated 12/11/03 03:37:46 PM, cgrismore@mindspring.com writes: > If you buy and prewash HandiWipes, you will find they're ultra-soft and > without lint.=A0 They can be re-washed umpty times. > > If you lose one, no big deal. > > No special trip necessary; they're at your supermarket. > > Near the PLEDGE. > In a message dated 12/11/03 03:37:46 PM, cgrismore@mindspring.com writes: > If you buy and prewash HandiWipes, you will find they're ultra-soft and > without lint.=A0 They can be re-washed umpty times. > > If you lose one, no big deal. > > No special trip necessary; they're at your supermarket. > > Near the PLEDGE. > Don't use anything on the plexiglass except 100% cotton. Get a box of painters rags. They are 100% cotton, have never been washed and there is NO dirt trapped in the fabric. Dirt you can't see. Dirt you can't feel. Use only fresh rags. That is, unless your windows look like=20they should be replaced anyway. In that case, use the blue shop paper towels, they'll work just fine. Meguires makes good plastic polish. Blue Coral makes some stuff I like better. The Cee Bailey stuff is OK. Plexus is not bad. Prist Plastic cleaner is not bad either. Either Plexus or Prist work fine for an occasional touch up. If you need to get a lot of bugs off (or lotsa dirt), use your HAND and fresh water over windshield and wipe gently to remove the excess stuff off. Then, with NEW 100% cotton rags, use WASH/WAX All to clean off the bugs (works great on the leading edge too.). Then, with NEW 100% cotton rags, polish with the Blue Coral stuff. Again, if your windows look like crap anyway, it really doesn't matter what you do. Gary www.AuCountry.com Home of "Team Grumman" TeamGrumman-List@matronics.com http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
