Dale Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 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 postSo how DO YOU label your LOR plugs????

Tim_L Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I write the channel number on the end of each cable using a sharpie.You might also try a white paint stick if you are using black cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Radio Shack sells a package of Self Laminating Wire and Cable Markers that work great. You can get 24 lables for under $2.This is what I use. Item # 278-1616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 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...-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Fischer Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 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.-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 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.
