| Pro tip - label wall warts |
| << < (7/7) |
| berke:
For electronics I only do prototypes or shit that's sent up and doesn't come back, so it doesn't matter if it fades in two years. But I need a robust solution for labeling my house's mains wiring. It needs to still be readable in 20 years when myself or an electrician if I ever manage to hire one wants to read the label on a wire. Will quality name-brand tubing work for that or do I need another kind of label ? |

What label printing equipment do you have? |

Me? Right now I just have a basic handheld Dymo Letratag. Apparently I need to upgrade. |
