You might find it difficult to crowd together the letters if you are forming whole words.Īnother drawback might be a lack of uniformity of depth of the punched letters.

One is that the individual characters are perhaps a little large for what you need. I have been trying to find 'Letraset' rub on letters, but they don't seem to be available in Canada any longer.Īndy, I can think of perhaps a couple of drawbacks to using the punches. Looking headon you can't distinguish the tape, but from the side there is a slight glare which I'm not fond of. It prints on a transparent sticky tape which you adhere to the board. Only one has the point markings done with a hand-held labeling tool called the IDPal.

Oh, here's the punch set: Hi Andy when you find something that works really well, kindly let me know! Last edited by Andy Henriksen 09-15-2007 at 10:54 PM. Oh, the board is myrtlewood, supposedly - quite a range of colors from pale yellowish green to chocolate - a neat little board given to me by a friend. If that is a legitamate option, any tips on doing it well? Or is there a better way to darken the letters? So my questions are: any reason this wouldn't be perfect?Īnd is there a good way to ensure that the letters and numbers are readable? I seem to recall a trick where you burn the wood black in and around the indented letters, and then lightly sand the surface back to the original wood. It seems like it would be perfect for this.

At first I had thought to use the rub-on dry transfer letters, but then I came across this spring loaded letter punch set. I have the holes drilled, and would like to mark the board in a few spots (theres a row of holes for wins, skunks, keeping track of points, etc.).
