Silk-screening Radio Panels

[Marvin]

I've read a number of comments on this list about silkscreening and it is
NOT difficult to do at home. If you already have the equipment, it is very
inexpensive to do panel silkscreening. Having done it for making pc boards a
few years ago, my cost to make up a screen and silkscreen PC boards
(excluding labor) was somewhere around $1 or so. The process I used for
making a screen was to thoroughly clean and degrease the screen, expose the
image onto a piece of photo emulsion, develop it and put it on the clean
screen. When it was dry (20 minutes or so using a fan), pull the mylar
backing off. At that point, just align the screen to the part(s), mix up
some epoxy paint, screen it on, and bake it (don't remember the parameters.)
Unless you want to discard the screen, clean the paint off the screen and it
is ready for another use. Some people I know have made the hinge assy from
door hinges. The point is that this process can be done very inexpensively
with a little knowledge or some experimenting.
