Title: Repairing Bulb Burn
Post by: millsy on August 23, 2009, 11:50:19 AM

Have a good set of plastics, but only problem 2 of them have bulb burn.
Was thinking of scanning,touch up (With photoshop)Printing on a gloss paper and trimming section of art that is burnt and sticking it on this small section with clear tape. Any other ideas.  !@#

i have done before the following.

1. place item on colour photo copier.copy once.
2. then cut the picture out.if the border edge is suppose to be clear, but its browned, dont keep that part,pretend it dont exist for the time being.
2. then with the new copy, you have something u can photoshop/scan or touch up with quality art textas.
4. then after touchup, copy again.
5. then copy this time on to white sticker a4 sized paper.
6. then peel n stick on a clear plastic sheet.
7. remember how we didnt keep the clear edge before, u can now cut around the item with any clear spaced edge ya want.
thats what i did anyway.OR just get someone to copy theres if they got a good one.or buy one if avail.?
