Surely, this has been discussed but I can't find it.

I'm new to EMs and have a project needing lots of cleaning. How am I supposed to clean score reels with brittle paint? If there's no good way, like I assume, how are people repairing numbers?

Thanks

Kind of shocked none of the decal mod makers around here make stickers to put right over them.

Thanks

Awesome, thanks!

So, some of my reels didn't need any new numbers, some needed 1 or 2, some needed a lot more. Because I didn't want to have some white reels, and some old yellowed, I had my sister print out your numbers on her Cricut and manually applied them were needed. Size isn't perfect, but it looks great! It just took a few nights sitting in front of the TV to apply them all.

The 9 is original, obviously. Everything else is replaced, including the background reel.

When using a Cricut, we had to convert it to a different format, so we had to play with it a bit trying to match it up. It only measures to 2 decimals and we were trying to get 3.
