Did anyone else have problems attaching the label to the front of the Altronics kit?
Mine didn't stick.

I had same problem - it seems to be an Avery label but the backing paper does not cleanly peel off unless you use something sharp

Hi gang,

I had the same problem with my label (also from Altronics).
When I started to peel it off the backing paper, it didn't appear right to me, so I started again at the other end, and very carefully peeled off the paper so that the sticky plastic was left.

I also found it hard to align it properly with the holes in the panel.

Me too guys! Also from Altronics
I thought that get the label off the backing paper and onto the Maximite was some sort of experiment into the patience and ingenuity of the hobbiest - very testing!

Hi Guys

Altronics label was no problem .... just use a couple of sticks in the LED holes ... carefully peel off the backing paper ... slide the label down the sticks, line it up and carefully smooth it out ... no soapy water ... trimmed a little at one end with a box cutter ... perfect

Thats a good tip Keith

My label was OK, peeled off the backing paper easily. Maybe the later batches of labels are having a few issues.
