So this one marks my return to the world of decals. I pretty much ditched them a few years back due to inconsistent results but after seeing how great envirotex looked over some of my recent etches I decided to give it another go. This is actually a do over for my dad. It's a Madbean smoothie that looked horrid inside and out. The krylon clear coat never cured and it was embarrassing to look at to say the least. The wiring was pretty bad as well and there were a couple partially melted caps, which I replaced. IIRC, I actually removed all the components and started fresh but that was a while back. Other than the poor drilling, which I couldn't do a thing about , I'm really happy with the result. The decal is an adhesive vinyl sticker paper made for ink jet printers that I found at JoAnn's Fabrics. It worked well for the small enclosure but I'm having issues with bubbles on a larger enclosure I'm currently working on so I'm thinking white waterside may he the better option. In order to make the envirotex work with the 9mm Alpha pot I used a plastic drink stirrer to tease a thin layer out to the edges, which left plenty of thread to tighten down the nut. Sorry so long winded here. Hope you like it!

Nice that looks great.
So, what frequency does your wireless hookup system use?

Crap, did I forget to wire it up? :P
Looks sweet, love 1590A builds
That's classy. 8)
That's about as close to the perfect build as I've seen. The precision on the inkjet label is crazy. Very impressive.
Just perfect. Im always very impressed with your builds.
Damn Jon, thats a looker. Great job man.

It's builds like this that make me rethink my whole finishing approach. The Envirotex looks impeccable. I like the vaguely 70's graphic too.
Ok. I've used laser vinyl adhesive paper before, but it's dead hard to find here, and inkjet will run on it, so any inkjet compatible vinyl is a good thing. Is this the stuff?

Nice catch. :) This one is actually derivative of another graphic I'm working on with a much more obvious 70's vibe.

Yep, that's definitely the stuff I used.
Whoa! That's slick.
Knob is aesthetically perfect with the art and enclosure.
Outstanding!
Wow, that looks amazing. What a glassy surface!
That looks great
Sorry, late to the party. Well, whatever was wrong with it before, it's perfect now. I love the graphic. Super classy and pro looking.
