Howard:
For what it's worth, I have put the necessary labels on the side of the
Wallwart, and the heat doesn't seem to be affecting them.
I get my dymo tape at Staples, and pay a bit more for it, but it seems to
hold up pretty well.
Now, one problem I do have, though, is that when labeling antenna coax
feedlines in the shack, the tape often seems to split after a while where
it is wrapped around the coax cable, so if anyone has a solution to that
one, I'd appreciate it too.
