<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Some years ago we experimented with paper tags with a brass eyelet and found the metal corroded quite badly so gave that away. For the past 30+ years
we have been using plastic dymo strips (9 mm wide); either black or green. Do <b>
<i><u><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic">NOT</span></u></i></b> use blue as the dye is alcohol soluble and becomes very difficult to read. The biggest issue we’re facing now is that it’s getting harder to buy the tape.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Attachment is either by plastic tags in a denison gun or using waxed linen thread and a needle. No disassociation issues except where the plastic
tag hasn’t been securely punched through the specimen, but we always give it a wee pull before finishing with the specimen.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
