thanks for the tips
...but how did you solve the soldering issue how to route if i want to use bananajacks (grounding etc.)

the "press-on-letter-then-spray-finish" method is one of to options, the other is to use highresolution-papercopies (laminated) witch could contain more info+colours&symbols...

///thanks again!!!///d n f n
