I personally use inkjet transparencies. Print a mirrored version of
the
layout onto the back (matted) side of the
transparency. Spray the
transparency (or the case if there's a square display cutout) with 3M
PhotoMount adhesive, wait 15 seconds (IIRC), then stick the
transparency to
the panel. Cut off any excess plastic and you're
done.
Exactly what I did when I made spare unit plugs for an RL02, several
years ago (except I used laser transparencies).
As far as drilling is concerned, use the non-permanent
version of
Photomount
(can't remember what it's called, though)
Spraymount. And the really strong stuff is called Hobbymount.

The only problem I found is that it's totally useless for dark-coloured
panels (or really anything that isn't metallic or white), because the inks
aren't particularly opaque. That and you can't print white lettering onto the
transparency :-/

Hm. I'll have to see if I can find that anywhere - all I managed to find was
the blue-can Spraymount and the red-can Photomount.
Later.
