Yes please mark them well. I say even mark the front of the label on your darker, hard to see through bottles. Your intentions may be good now but people get old and die and those bottle will eventually be sold as genuine. Swiz

Absolutely will do. Just mark them as "replacement label" or something? I want people to think that they've gotten something neat but I don't want them to try to sell it or mark it off as being and original bottle. Which I don't think my kinds of group would but you never know. Trust me guys I've seen way too many jack nuts who think they can get away with that kind of stuff.

Thanks again cyber for those awesome labels!

Neat labels.

You can just mark them "Created 4-Jul-2011" Anything like that works.

I have found many early labels were attached with a water soluable paste (starch based?)
I think they actually soaked the labels in the paste and then when they were saturated laid them on the bottle.
Then wiped the excess paste off the label/bottle. This ensures the label is completely attached.
