How do you keep your cartos straight?

[tidegirl]

If you use many flavors, how do you keep straight what juice is in what carto? I have been trying small stickers, but they tend to get juice dripped on them and end up coming off.

Any better ideas for telling the cartos apart?

I started out with Sharpie Permanent Markers, but those tend to fade quickly, though was helpful in the short-term. Some people use different color drip tips to "code" their cartos. What I ended up doing was getting a pack of Sharpie Paint Markers from Amazon (or I'm sure any Office Supply or Craft Store too), and the writing stays on much longer and works great for me. It's rare that it fades for me now.

Why not bake up some 'FIMO' endcaps in different colours. If you get really creative you can shape them as well.

Not sure I am creative enough for the endcaps, but I like the paint pens. I'll have to try that.

You could use different Colored drip tips. Ive even heard some people using those little colored rubber bands that people who have braces use.

...paint pens and colored drip tips here...I also used a regular silver Sharpie and a piece of clear tape over it to keep it from fading...the paint pens and drip rips work better........

Gold and silver Sharpie paint pens are in stock at the local office depot. Guess I will be heading there when the rest of the world wakes up.

I like my blue on the silver cartos and white on the black cartos myself.
