Anyone Try these for labeling? I did today and found it to be an easy alternative to Ink or laser jet decal . Anyone that needs to use letters or numbers only on there pedal should try them out.Very simple to use . They come in different fonts, size, and colors. Rub them on a flat finish and clear coat over them , I found them in a hobby store . The brand is Woodland Scenics.

Anyone know where I can find some of these sheets? I have tried Wal-mart and a few other places. I can't even find a website that sells them in America.

Sounds promising.  I'm going to look for these the next time out.  ;)

I think JT is talking about a place that sells model railroad supplies -- a decent-sized city should have at least one of those.

My niece was showing me a scrapbook she had put together for her parents 25th wedding anniversary. She'd used alot of interesting  lettering through it that she said she got from a scrapbooking supplier. I assume it's some sort of dry-transfer lettering. Anybody checked out scrapbooking suppliers for lettering?

Take care

My wife was showing me something similar to this for a scrapbook page she was working on the other day.  I think she just picked them up at one of the local srapbook shops.  I'll have to ask her for more details on this.

I tried that on my first pedal.  After I found inkjet decals, I'd never go back.

Are you guys referring to products like Letraset?  It's a dry lettering transfer that has been used in the design industry for years (for typesetting etc) but I believe they also supply this kind of stuff for craft applications etc. Just line up the decal and rub over it to transfer it to the surface.
