Labeling cords


Dale

Recommended Posts

I was getting out my lor boxes last night and noticed all my channel labels where almost all worn-away off the plugs coming out of the box's. I used duct tape and wrote on them with pen for 1-16.

I know this was talked about awhile ago but I cant find the post

So how DO YOU label your LOR plugs????

I've tried the labeling machines, but the labels fall off (unless you get the really expensive purpose-built ones for labeling wiring). So I've resorted to sharpie/paint pen.

I have a controller (non-LOR) going on it's 9th season this year, and as far as I remember I've never redid the sharpie labels on it. They are still readable...

Honestly use White Out in the bottle.

It will last for years rain or snow. I have used it for years to mark the parts I replace on equipment. I know how many hours they last and it is great on black oil filters.

Thanks, those labels look promising.

I haven't tried white-out either. I may have to give it a shot, although I'm not sure we even have any around anymore :) I've used liquid paint pens though and they seem to work well.

I have used White Out on oil filters on equipment for years and the equipment works in the rain. I use them on my controller plugs and the boxes to number them all and they stay out in the rain. I have a friend who has an auto repair shop. Each part he put on a car, like a starter, altenator, etc. he marks the date and mileage.

It really holds up well. Much better than a magic marker type item.
