No, I didn't know about the trick of the alcohol on the surface. I'll try that. I'm not good with superglue or puff paint, so I stick with braille when possible. Sharon, I had trouble with getting the plates back in place as well. If you figure out a trick to it, please let me know. I would ask to let the group know, but Gary has indicated he's sick of the topic, now. <Smile>.
