Maybe not the classiest of all options...
I used a white marking tape to mark the edges between modules. It's
not
the best solution, but the tape color closely matches the silkscreen
paint and never yellows or falls off. The tape is actually a
polyester
film tape used in covering up marks on veloxes (those of you in
graphic
design or production will know what I'm talking about.) I get mine
from
a complany called Craig Cold Type Supply, their phone# is 1-800-543-
1191 is anyone is interested. When I get home, I'll snap a picture
with
the digitl camera, if anyone wants to see what it looks like. -Nate
