@davedarko mentioned a trick of using clear coat before paint when taping something off where you want crisp edges in the comments on the previous log entry. I tried this trick and it worked GREAT! Thanks Dave!

This will be a great fast and easy way to get the black bar where it needs to be if I end up going with white silkscreen for the final versions. I have 30 of these botched boards to get the technique right on. :/

I taped it off with just a sliver of red showing as to make sure no white was showing through. Unless you have really good eyes or take a close up photo you won't notice.
