Thanks everyone for the encouraging words.

Charlie. Your the one who discovered this stuff for stomp boxes, so thanks have to go to you. I used Photoshop for the graphics.

That looks AWESOME.  Very professional indeed.

Is there a way to do the sides?

[Paul Marossy]

Very nice.  :shock:
Now I'm really wanting to give it a try.

:shock:  That's slicker than gorilla snot on a glass door knob.

I was going to say something more conventional, but my first and second choices were already posted.

My question is now, how stompable is the result?

Fantastic job!

I think I'm a little bit behind... Where do you get that stuff?  How does it work?

Awesome Bill!!!  Now what is this "Dark T-shirt" stuff!!?

It's a product made by Avery for transferring artwork onto dark material. You iron it on.

I found it at PC World.

What exactly was the procedure used? It looks like the graphics are on a seperate *laminate*, rather than directly on the hammond box? I echo the question of durability also.  Very nice looking though! I have four unpainted effects that might finally be receiving a proper finish.

See link two posts above.

The graphics are ironed directly onto the box. Then I put epoxy over it. I saw this in an article by Steve Daniels (see link below). After the epoxy dried for 24 hours I wet sanded it with 1500 grit sandpaper to smooth it out. This made it cloudy though. To get rid of that I used rubbing compound. Then finally used a wax made for cars to make it all nice and shiny.

Yeah, I'm wondering about the same thing. Only time will tell.
