You are using {censored}ty tape then. I use those colored dot stickers from Staples and I write on those and never once have they peeled off.

Members Player99 Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 Burning plastic creates hydrogen cyanide, the exact toxin used in the gas chamber. Still a good idea that is there permanently. The lettering could be filled with silver sharpie for double whammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grueller Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 I cut out strips of Tyvek, sharpie and hole punch them, then zip tie near the plugs. It's harder to miss a tag that's hanging out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 How about just using some color coded heat shrink tubing at the plug end, which is where the issue will be. If necessary you would write on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zappa74 Posted November 17, 2012 Members Share Posted November 17, 2012 Labeling an AC adapter is a good idea, but labels can come off, writing can fade, and adhesive can cease to become sticky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
