    The solvents in that spray can are very similar to acetone or could contain acetone. Although a bit more difficult to obtain a 2 part polyurethane clearcoat will not dissolve the ink/toner. You managed to get the paper off of the ink/toner much better than I can. Nice job. -Jake

    Did you know there is a drill attachment that nibbles out shapes? One hole and with a template guide away you go, smooth finish within minutes for plastic, aluminium, and mild steel up to 1.5 mm thick..

    Any material can be used. The point is to find the suitable iron temperature for your target material through trial and error. After toner transfer, soak the paper with warm water and wait till it disintegrates easily.

    Maybe I can answer some of your questions:-) 1) What material you try to use as a front does not matter as long it can handle the heat you have to apply. It can be metal, plastic or many other material's. 2) The best paper you can use is paper with a high gloss like magazine paper, laser photo paper and others so long the paper also can withstand high heat so dont use inject photo paper. For best result try to find some paper that also takes water wary well so it get soaked easy. 3) You have to use a laser printer because it melts your motive on top of the paper. 4) How much heat then? You have to apply so much heat that the laser "ink" remelts and sticks to the surface of plastic or metal you want to decorate. Try from 200C / 400F and go up. 5) When you want to remove the paper you just have to soak the paper in water for 5-10 minuts and carefully remove the paper with your hand or a cloth. 7) Last try to search for "making circuit bord" or making PCB" there are a lot of great info you may can use.

    So how can you relabel the front of an old vintage halicrafters communications receiver that has a metal case With what I’m assuming is painted on small lettering. The radio I’m working on needs to be repainted but naturally I will lose all the lettering when I sand and prep the face plate.

    Wait, a few questions about the first step (or before it). You used a laser printer on what material? Is it proper for this type of job? What is its name? And the most important question, if you want white text and indications on a black chassis / box, what do you do; I have some old synths with white letters and lines worn-out. Thanks

    WAIT ! You printed on magazine paper, ironed the backside (for heat) and then you were able to leave the laser print behind by washing the paper with warm water ? Really ? No special decal paper ? Wow

    He's from Russia or other Cyrillic alphabet country, you can see it in the newspaper. So either he would speak his native language, or English with an obvious thicc accent.
