This is the paper as it comes from the distributor. I was slightly upset, they packed it in a USPS envelope, and the post person folded it to get it in my mailbox.

This part was a challenge. How to duplicate the pattern on the lower part of the name plate? While passing the sandpaper isle to but the copper paint. I spied this drywall sanding mesh....I spray painted it black, cut it to shape, and viola'!

After making several practice prints on paper to adjust the size, darkness, etc., I printed it onto the real paper.

This is the face plate painted back to copper, and the decal being sprayed with four heavy coats of clear top coat. If you don't completely seal the printing, it WILL come off when you dip the paper in water. I let it dry for two days. The directions say 3-4 hours.

It's great that you are sharing this with us Rick. Trying to recreate the original script for machines has been next to impossible until now. I can tell you all too that Lucy is a doll!!!! Don't you just love those eyes? Terry | ||
