I use velcro for these. I put them on my flat panel oven controls, wash/dryer,
and other things like my microwave oven 7 years ago and haven't had to replace
them yet. Got the velcro at a craft shop that had the velcro cut into different
shape and were small.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Labelling Tips
Hi Everyone,
I'm labeling a whole bunch of stuff here in the house, and it seems that the
daimo tape isn't sticking.
I've completely cleaned the surfaces well, and wiped them down with alcohol,
but the labels are coming off faster than you can say hot knife through butter.
Anyone have any tips they can pass along that will help me get this stuff
stuck on well, and that won't come off?
I'm literally at my tapes end, so to speak.
Just to name a few things I'm labeling are the flat panel on the microwave,
my fax machine, which I'm going to try placing the labels on the buttons
directly, as opposed to the sides of them as I did when I first tried to lable
it, my washing machine, and my dryer.
Again, I simply can't understand why the labels are coming off.
It's not humid in my house, if anything it's extra dry in here, especially
with the winter season and cold temperatures, and these appliances don't come
in direct contact with water.
I'm always making sure my hands are dry when I touch the labels, and not
greasy or anything like that, so, again, I'm at a loss.
Thanks all.
Victor
