I have a pretty warped plastic escutcheon that I need to replace. Where do you find such a thing... I've looked and can't locate one. Are there any alternatives? How about finishing it off in wood... anyone ever done that successfully -- I suppose it kills the the original look, but it might be better than a warped escutcheon.
I had a perfectly nice dial glass... until I tried to take the grime off of it with GoJo... it removed the numbers and scale! Don't say it -- I know I'm a real dummy. Anyway, now I have to replace the dial glass also. I've read alot about creating decals, but as you all know you can't print white -- so I don't know where to go with it. I'm pretty good in graphics and have re-created the dial scale in Adobe Illustrator, so I do have something to go from. Any ideas and all ideas most welcome. -- Joe
