[sdiy] Learned something today...

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

Jim & all,

What I do is get a package of full sheet labels (Avery 8665) for my ink jet.

I print a full size drill template complete with markings that I can align
with an edge of the case or panel I'm drilling. After carfully aligning and
attaching the label I then center punch and drill leaving the label on to
protect the panel to I'm ready to paint or install parts. Remember to print
a contrasting color on the label. Black on black is hard to deal with.
Yellow on black works a lot better.

Take care.
Jay
