Anybody know of a brand/model of self-adhesive label
that works well on vinyl binders or on the clear plastic
sometimes found thereon?
Specifically, that:
    1.	stick well immediately
    2.	stay on for (virtually) ever
    3.	can be peeled off at will (i.e. don't dry on permanently)
    4.	don't leave a gummy deposit when peeled off
    5.	are suitable for writing on some instrument or other
As for the adhesive qualities, I'm assuming, well,
summer heat in an un-air-conditioned house,
but probably not storage in the back of a car.

Well, I have tried just about everything on the market.  The only thing
that seems to be permanent is the adhesive used on bandaids (no joke, I
repair broken ones with bandaids).  I have never found a label with the same
adhesive, but there are some cloth tapes with the same stuff.  Apparently
the adhesive cannot be put onto paper for some esoteric reason.
