What a nightmare place to put that. Styrene wouldn't have been a problem.

Once you get the hang of it, it is not too difficult. I have already placed the second row. I would have ordered the casting numbers, from Archer; but, there is no star included. Oh, the placement of the star was a little more difficult. It sits slightly higher than center and not quite half way, between two numbers. I highly recommend using the slurry I described to place all minute etch.

I have not heard of them. However, one of the symbols is a small star. I have not found anything that includes this and am afraid it would be quite visible if I used two different types.
