[Rockhounds] glue for TN boxes

[Gene Hartstein]

I use Microsoft Word to print labels of the right size. I use 110 weight card stock, and I use Styrofoam bases to hold the labels in place. If I cannot use styrofoam, I put a little rubber cement on the labels and let it dry. It dries sticky and will hold just fine

Increasingly in the past year or a few, I find that the labels do not stay attached - the glue drop, though well spread out on the flat box surface, curls as it dries and pulls the label free of the box.
