Lenny, You can use Dymo tape and make a Braille letter "l". Cut this out and you will have a line that you can stick on anything that does not get too hot. You can then label this line with another Braille label. This works great on table saw bevel scales.

So far I have ordered three hi-marks and ended up with textured fabric paint. I believe that the old hi-marks is no longer made and many of these sites are substituting the fabric paint. Since I want to have my table saw marked the fabric paint is not acceptable for me. I do plan to look at the different type of glue that is packaged in a tube. Something like the old model airplane glue container.

When I googled Hi Marks it took me to several places including American Foundation for the Blind. I saw references to Hi Marks on their website, but couldn't find anywhere to get an item number for it. Their number is: 800-232-5463 Also, the American Printinghouse for the Blind had references to it on their site but I again couldn't find it. Their number is: 800-223-1839 Betsy At 02:16 AM 3/2/2007, you wrote: >Does anyone know where I can purchase Hi Marks in the Us? In the past I >used >and really liked this product.
