eurbani Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I see the completed controller pictures and they have a white band below the plugs. Is this a label? If so, can we purchase them? The "PC Series Dangle Cordset" are unlabeled.I have used the silver sharpie method. I've also seen the 3M wire labels. I'm wondering what else is available.

Jim Saul Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The wire labels from home depot came off after a year. The first controller I made, i used Duct tape and a sharpie, that is still on there, BUT the silver sharpie is by far the best for durability and visibility. You can buy them in Walmart for i think $3 for the 2 pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Rise Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I use a silver sharpie as well. For $3, you can't beat it.It stays on through all weather conditions, but can easily be removed with a green scratch pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-Paul Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Don, Like your idea. Wont have to seq any more songs. Just each year I just mate any plug with any socket and will have a new show each year. And if I really feel crazy, change things up in mid-season.Me Likey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeiilll Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have a Rhino label maker with heat shrink labeling that I use for mine.A bit of overkill but since I use the Rhino label for marking electrical panels for work and other things it is a really nice way to mark the pigtails.I also use color coded zip plugs in male and female for my extension cords and wire harnesses for lights. Since my lights are red, green, blue, and white I just paint a bunch of the covers for the vampire plugs with Krylon paint for plastic. That way I have a couple dozen of each color available in my tool kit when I need to make new cables up. Makes hookup easier and quicker for me.But if all else fails, I do have a couple of the silver sharpie pens in the tool kit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
