I'm building a Pygmy Coho and wanted to put a small logo under the glass on the deck identifying the design and its origin. I printed up a sample, then xeroxed it onto rice paper. When I made a test panel on scrap wood using some slightly bubbly epoxy left at the end of glassing the inside of the hull, I found that the rice paper didn't "virtually disappear in the resin" as I'd hoped from Nick's book, but remained as a cloudy opacity which obscured the grain of the wood and clearly showed the shape of the paper. This rice paper was fairly thick, apparently handmade -- all the art store seemed to stock. I'm open to any thoughts about how to get the logo on the boat without compromising the structural integrity of the glass/epoxy layer.
