Hi Dennis,

I've come to use vinyl "peel & stick" letters exclusively here in all of my homebrew projects...

The letters come on a standard-size waxed sheet of paper: you remove them (they are already pre-cut, of course) with an X-acto knife, & apply them to where you might want them. Once in place just press down on them to secure.

They are super-easy to put on, look nice when finished, & can be readily removed even years later with your thumb nail---and they come in a wide variety of sizes, colours, & fonts (1/4" is the minimum size).

The ones I buy come from a company called "GEOGRAPHICS" in Blaine, Washington---although there are now a lot of places making these. I buy mine at the better (and larger) stationery / office supply shops...and they are not expensive, either (I believe the last time I bought a sheet it was less than $7.00).
