== Drilling ==
[[File:Stufenbohrer PG7-PG21.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A unibit aka step drill bit.]]
Use a center punch to mark the panel for drilling. This will stop the drill bit from wandering. First drill a pilot hole, then use increasingly larger size drill bits until the correct hole diameter is reached.<ref name="mfos" /> However it's more efficient to use a unibit aka step drill bit.<ref name="mikmo"
== Labelling ==
Line 44:
=== Laminated ===
The panel overlay is laminated in a plastic pouch, which is attached to the panel with contact adhesive. Print two copies of the overlay and use one of them as a drilling guide. Laminate pouches are also available in different finishes which you might be preferable. A problem with this method is that with the edges catching on other panels the platic laminate might lift at the corners.<ref name="mikmo"
=== Laser etching ===
Line 50:
=== Lazertran ===
Water-slide decal paper from [http://lazertran.com/ Lazertran] is a flexible method for producing a hard wearing transparent finish, approaching silk screen for quality. The image for transferring is printed mirrored with a toner based laser printer. The sheet is then soaked in water to detach the decal which is then placed on the panel toner side down. Heating the panel later in an oven bonds the toner to the surface. Otherwise use an aerosol lacquer to protect it.<ref>[
