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>.
