: Terry,

: If you have a laser printer you can make use of the siliconized, non-stick
: backing paper from that shelf paper.

: Trim the backing paper to 8.5 x 11 and print out a design on it. Get your
: printer to do this with the image flipped (reversed left to right)

: The printer's toner will adhere to this backing paper, but just a little.

: Now place the backing paper, with the image side in contact with your boat
: while the epoxy or varnish is tacky and the toner image will stick, but
: the paper can be peeled off a few seconds later. This gives an image
: floating in your finish, with no discernible edges.

Paul;
Thanks for the idea, I was testing out a bit of the plastic the other day and the backing paper looked too good to throw away.
Some of it even has a grid on it in both inches and metric.
