: You mean HIN, right?

: A woodburning tool will melt through the resin and burn that info into the
: underlying wood. A quick touch-up with varnish should be all the sealing
: you need over the area.

: Or, decoupage that info by printing it on a thin paper, such as rice paper,
: onion-skin paper, tissue paper, or tracing paper. Wet a small area with a
: few drops of varnish, lay on the paper, and varnish over it.

: You need to put the HIN info in two places. Make one of those inside the
: cockpit, on the underside of the deck, so someone would need to stick
: their head inside to see the number.

Yeah, HIN, sorta a VIN for boats :)

I do most of my posts in the middle of the night, so you have to excuse some errors :)
