Just made a new enclosure for 2 circuits.
I put  a AMZ mosfet booster and the blue magic  together in one box.
Now it working I want to label it . Can anyone me give some clues
I would like to design and print it myself.   
I have trouble finding  either the black T shirt transfers  ( not my favourite I think)
I would prefer to print on some kind of  transparent material which I can stick on the box.



Thanks, Alf

Use the waterslide decals from small bear.  You can get em at other hobby web sites.  They come in clear.

There are some cool embossing tricks you can use.

Ah, now I see the link.  Yes, waterslide.   

If you get that decal dissolver from Small Bear you can make it look silk screened.

I'm going to give this a try on my current tremolo thingy, I'm always looking for alternatives to anything invloving a rattle can clear coat, as far as protecting paint and graphics.  They're all so chinsey

If you have a scanner you could scan the empty enclosure and then use that as a template in a graphics program if you involve computers in your pedal making.

Thanks guys,

So I guess I'll have a try with the waterslide  decals, have to order some stuff from small bear anyway.
What computer programme are you guys using for designing ?
I have Micrografix and Photoshop but am looking for simpler programme ?
Any advice will be more than welcome !

you can use this in Word... the important thing is to find cool fonts and work them (spacing, kerning)...
but if you have Photoshop, it'll give you more (easier) control...
