Yes, that's what I do, too.  It looks professional and is very easy to see.

The originals numbers were very dull and after I cleaned them and lightly sanded them they are no longer visible. I do not want to pencil mark them with numbers as I think this looks cheap so I want to stamp them. Any methods of stamping keys with ink, or other suggestions?   Regards, Jack Houweling       No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
