Yeah I read that. I figured I could bypass that. Oh well. I'll buy two. £4 is still not expensive

Clive let me know if that switch turns out to be Maintained as I now need one for the main on off switch for my build.


EDIT: Just had a reply from the Seller. Both start and stop are momentary.

Use Anchor bolts (red heads) or Rawl bolts and you'll be fine.

Just wanted to say how please I am with my brewery labels. I followed Clive and Kev's advice and got in touch with our mate Steve at Swifttag.

I couldn't be happier with the finish of these labels and they finish my panel off real well. I also couldn't find anyone cheaper.

I missed off a load of labels and kept bugging him when I remembered late at night that I needed the odd one. He responded straight away and made them up first thing in the morning for me. Not the kind of service you'd get from many other companies I've dealt with.

What I was most impressed with was how small and intricate a design he can do on his machine. I sent him one of my logos and he printed one off for me.

Now I've got the labels ive started marking out my panel.

Clive how did you cut your rectangular/square holes? Jigsaw?

Cheers

Believe it or not you can buy square qmax cutters :) BUT I just used a jigsaw with a normal metal blade, if you find the blade getting blunt at any point, place a piece of plywood or similar over the area to raise the height that the cutter works at ;) . Cut on a low speed NO pendulum finish with a hand file.

With your logo idea, they would make nice pump clips :)

Funny you should say that Clive:

Although for these I used printable magnetic paper I bought from eBay. I glued tiny magnets to the pump clips so I can chop and change.

They stick to the side of the fridge for storage:

I don't know I assume so. It was a lot more expensive. £7.25. I imagine for one pump clip sized it would be a lot more. I think it depends on the design. Mines pretty intricate with all those small white bits of my brothers shirt. He said he had to set the machine going and leave it for 30minutes. I suppose that's a lot compared to the little text labels hence the price increase. Looks awesome though.

Damn. I was hoping you'd found a better solution. Square qmax cutters would be nice but expensive when I already have. Jigsaw.
