Here we go !

The tape arrived today
It is 38 mm high which means that for an HP65 or HP67 only a single piece is needed
This is good because it is more efficient

We have cut a piece of plastic the exact size of the “tray” where the label goes
This is needed when we put the chassis under pressure overnight
On the inside two water bottle caps help to distribute pressure in an homogeneous way
The assembly is then put between two pieces of wood for the night
3M claims that best results are obtained if the temperature is between 40 and 50 Celsius degree
We skipped that part ... so will see tomorrow morning

We first have put the tape on the calc
Using an exacto knife the adhesive has been cut to the exact size
Then label applied
using the plastic shape and some soft cotton an homogeneous pressure have applied

It doesn’t look bad at all but the last word can only be said tomorrow
