[sdiy] Schaeffer Apparatebau question

[René Schmitz]

Hi Jürgen,

For what its worth:
Laying out engravings with color isn't so hard to do. A former 
colleague, who previously worked for a company which made custom panels 
for traffic control systems, explained it to me once. You simply put the 
color onto the panel and then wipe off the rest with a cloth soaked with 
paint solvent. I guess you must work pretty quick to avoid that the 
paint becomes dry prematurely.

Cheers,
  René
