A bit more detail I should have included ...
These are pleasure craft, so stuff goes under the deck whether we like =
it or not.
I've been using markable heat shrink, but as Jim says, it's very time =

I'm hoping to find a printable plastic wrap-around with a glue that will =
stick in the damp, as it would let me pre-print everything before the =
job.
