Tom, I have rarely used dymo tape.  I prefer to use large sheets 
of plastic with adhesive on the back.  I think it's called 
Braillabel and should be available from most places that sell 
blind related writing products.  You can roll it into a perkins 
brailler, write your labels then take it out and cut the labels 
to size.  I use a cheap plastic paper cutter that can be obtained 
from stationary stores that works very well and is safe to use.  
Yah, it's sort of a hassle compared to dymo tape, but you can do 
a lot with it that is lacking with dymo tape.  73, Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Anoying Dymo Labeling Tape Issue

Hello, all, and Happy Holidays!

=20

I have an annoying issue with some dymo labeling tape I recently 
=
purchased.

=20

I have used the tape to label various buttons, switches, jacks, 
and =
controls
on my MFJ998 auto-tuner and ALS600 amplifier.

=20

The problem with the tape is that it does not stick well to the 
involved
surfaces on the equipment.

=20

The tape sticks on the ends, but not in the middle of the labels, 
=
thereby
causing the middle of the labels to be raised slightly.  I can 
push the
labels down again, and the labels will stick for a while, but 
eventually
will raise up in the middle again.

=20

I have done much labeling of equipment over the years, and have 
only
experienced this problem relatively recently.

=20

I suspect that the labeling tape I have purchased most recently 
is =
somehow
old or defective, but it is hard to know until you actually start 
using =
it.

=20

I typically use the =BD-inch clear plastic variety.

=20

If anyone has a magical solution to this problem, or knows where 
one can
still get good high-quality dymo labeling tape, please let me 
know.
