Hello Steve & OleTruckers,
Architects, years ago, used a ton of press-on letters & numerals. (Not so
much since computer graphics came into our lives.)
We found "Letraset" brand has the best adhesive & is easiest to use. It comes
in lots of type faces & sizes. Burnishers are available to press it onto the
surface to which you are applying it, but we use soft-lead color pencils, such
as "Prismacolor" by Berol. Most of the time we use these letters on paper or
mylar, though I have put them on varnished wood with good results. On paper or
mylar, we sometimes protect the letters with spray fixitive. On varnished
wood I used spray urethane.
All this stuff is available at our local art supply stores.
Hope this helps.

weather, now that I have 12 Volts & 2-0 welding cable from battery to starter &
back
to battery.
