Re: We're building 20 sets of bumpers...

In 2014 we were encountering a problem with getting decent iron on letters so we cut out a template out of some lexan (wood or an appropriately sized piece of scrap aluminum would have worked) and used it to spray paint all of the letters on. We found that putting weights around the edges of the letter cut outs helped stop paint from getting under the thinner sections. That and very light passes.
