REFLECTOR: Electrical Marking Tip

[Alex Balic]

I have been using a brother p-touch that can print down to size 9 font- it
will then wrap around the wire and still be readable- I still use clear heat
shrink, but probably not needed.

I think you made a good choice.

I really hate the fact that aircraft wiring choices are so narrow.
I would have loved to have some sort of printer that would print 
identifying color bands, stripes or numbering on the wire.  Probably not 
many people do wiring on their own cars anymore, but my old car manual 
identified all wires by color.  It sure made things easy.

About the best I found was to use a Brother Labeller.  Put the stickers 
on like flags.  Still not pretty though.
