[R-390] Silk screen

[Barry Hauser]

Hi Bob & List

Aren't there small arts 'n crafts silk screen kits or materials that can be 
used for spot replacement?  We have a big store here, but I don't know what 
to look for.  I've seen some websites with kits -- but not intended for our 
kind of application.

Some of the lettering is more prone to wear than others, and a detailing of 
a silk-screened panel might call for replacing only a few labels.  The 
remains of the worn lettering could be rubbed off, the grey base compounded, 
and then the 2 or 3 that need be replaced could be done with small pieces of 
the screen.

Is there any home-brew way to do that?  This might also well apply to 
restoring some other gear that doesn't have much labeling on it.

Barry
