This video shows the sharpie masking method described above:

Thanks for posting that video!

And I know just what you mean by "okay with that." I have to laugh at myself here...

It was deeply ingrained to me ages ago from my Mom and my Grandmother to take very good care of my stuff (and even better care of anything borrowed). So my immediate visceral reaction to @grbrum's initial mention that he'd used a sharpie was one of horror: "What? Destroy the pristine 30b that's underneath those overlays?" Then, rationality kicked in. I don't have a 30b flashram image. And I've got a vintage-run 12c in mint condition for any financial calculations I might have, and a copy of Excel on every computer in my care. Every other calculator I have is a scientific... This machine will never be a 30b again! It will always be a 34s or something similar.

I wonder how many other folks have experienced the exact same thing?

Daily drivers: 15c, 32sII, 35s, 41cx, 48g, WP 34s/31s. Favorite: 16c.
Latest: 15ce, 48s, 50g. Gateway drug: 28s found in yard sale ~2009.
