Thanks for reading Tim, and for your comments.

Just to add for the avoidance of doubt, I used new glass cut to size in my experiments - I didn't try to tidy up or re-use an existing dial. I didn't have a problem with the artwork, flipping the image or in printing & applying the decals. The only problem was in getting the second decal to register accurately all all points with the first decal, which - try as I might - I wasn't able to achieve.

Great news that you managed to overcome that issue, which hopefully will encourage others to have a go.
