Adhesive labels

[roganjosh]

Having got round to making notes of all the mods I've made to my Spectrums I thought I'd put a sticky label on the bottom of each, listing the details. There's where I hit a problem. None of the labels I've tried want to stick to the underside of Spectrum+ or rubber key Spectrum cases. Neither does Sellotape (I mean the UK kind of Sellotape, not the Australian kind). Can anyone point me to a make/brand/type/URL/etc of labels suitable for the purpose? Preferably ones which will put up a bit of a fight, but not too much, if I ever need to remove them.

I use a Dymo LetraTag printer for this exact purpose, with white paper labels, and they stick fine.

Also if you are having issues with things sticking, have you tried a bit of Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to remove any grease on the surface?

Thanks. IPA has had some effect, though the case had been cleaned with detergent previously. The dymo looks nice and I'll probably invest in one. I remember its ancestors from my youth which produced embossed labels. It never took long for the trigger mechanism to snap. A real point of weakness, though my youthful physical actions likely lacked a bit of subtlety.

The plastic used for the case is only normal ABS. I have not had any problems using normal white paper labels (and these are over 20 years old, I have a roll of them from yonks ago).

There's always a flowchart for something it seems

Impressive. Anyone got a Venn diagram?
