Hi Ken,=20
Interesting, thanks, but the Parafilm trick mimicks a boss screen, ie a
wax layer between 2 sheets of (thin) glass, so the surfaces are flat.
I'll try to find some verry thin black thread, perhaps it can be melted
with the parafilm wax in the oven, and I can always draw on the glass;
crude but sufficient I guess..
best,
Cor
