I thought that some of you might be interested in this, as there was a discussion about labling wires. They say the wrap is legible after many hours at 150 deg C.

I used this approach on my Lightning build. It’s a bit pricey, at about $1/ft US on eBay. Combine that with my label makers inability to control the print spacing, lots of waste. That said I really like the results.

$482 in a bundle at Bunnings. If you were wiring a plane from scratch, that's quite cheap for what you get in terms of traceability of wiring. Heck, even for the 4by or something it'd be good if you are adding a bunch of accessories!
