Hi,
A lovely job David; well done. I've been following this restoration as David has kindly kept me updated via email.
Regarding printing white; I believe "Staples" have in-store printers that will print white so it should be possible to take along a scan on disc to get a dial printed?
Perhaps you are thinking of "casting resin" Paula which is readily available but quite expensive. The windscreen repair technique sounds interesting and a company like Autoglass should be able to advise.

Glass is difficult to repair being non porous so adhesives have nothing to grip to. When I worked as a glass fibre laminator we had a very large plate glass table that we used to lay up shop fronts on giving a mirror finish to the coloured gel coat which was applied first. To release once cured I would simply raise one corner and give a quick flip which would break the seal easily.
Kind regards, Col.

Happiness is a wreck of a cabinet to restore.
