Thanks Craig. I'm not really happy with the script so if I do use it, I'll tweak it some. Here's the vector version so far. There will be some modifications for the T-shirts. For this one I used A&S Layla with some alts and a few minor modifications.

Supurb Work,

The stabillo and china marker remains are easily cleaned off with on old time product you can find here and there on ebay... Bon Ami cake. a soft rag or cotton with a fair amount of moisture (water) with a bit of the cake. The less moisture the more abraisive. Hope this might help.

Thanks Tim, Unfortunately Bon-Ami cake is no longer made as I'm sure you know and I've never found any on ebay or otherwise. The powdered Bon-Ami is no match for the cake. The finish on the Alupanel is just soft enough that if Bon-Ami (cake or powdered) is used on it, especially the black, it will show.
I've tried it before with the last bit of cake I have left. I think that the "Flaming" is a nice alternative.

BTW......Welcome to Signs101! How about introducing yourself?

I'm Tim Bond in Cincinnati, Oh. I am a 3rd generation hand letterer. My Grandfather started lettering in 1926, My Father learned from him and I learned from both, also I went to the Institue of Lettering and Design in Chicago in the early 1970's. We had a big shop and a very large and impressive clientel. The shop burned and we just didn't rebuild. I worked from home for several years and then worked at a TV station, then bought and sold antiques. Well I am back in the sign business and have been out of the loop for several years. Things have changed and I have a lot of catch up to do. The Bon Ami you can find on Ebay, I have purchased about a case of it. It works for Gold Leaf and other applications. I am unfamiliar with some of the new materials. So i'll be asking for tricks with the new materials. Tim
