Don -

Thanks for the comments. In your early post you talked about using tissue paper (rice paper?), running that through a "laserjet" type printer to print the image,and then applying the rice paper over the epoxy, covered by layers of varnish. Have you tried this yet? I don't know if:

- the rice paper would tear in the laser printer - if the rice paper would dissolve under the varnish - if the rice paper would become transparent

I did check the website that Don provided - transferring a printed image to a piece of thin self-adhesive transparent decal sheet/film also sounds like a promising idea.

Thanks for your help - I'm still waiting for the Coho kit to arrive, and my anticipation is "building"!
