Sorry i lunched. Thanks for saving me Scott
I was going to add that Jp's processes dovetail nicely into the prepunched and the oops panels from BC If you are just doing standard work
I have been seeing overlays of all types on high end gear and on short lived products like the mighty Alesis Mod FX boxes.It is cheap and viable.
When I was working on EMS panel redo I got a very reasonable start up quote on a pair of metallic stick on overlays punched and affixed by the fab house, that is with user supplied punched panels.
I was thinking of doing that for my ASM2 and perhaps the same for the Doepfer DIY Even though their heated VCO is lamer than shit.

Usually there is a ring left over at the end. Would getting a table punch (not that I can afford it) solve this problem? Any other suggestions?
