[Electronics-Talk] sticky dots?

[Annely Rose]

Hi,

Maxi-Aids calls them bump dots.  But my experience has been that the bump dots from Maxi-Aids don't stick as long as those I have bought from a big box hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowe's.  They can also be found, from what I'm told, at Walmart in the hardware department.  In the local stores they are identified as furniture bumpers used under glass covered tables or desks or for cabinet doors as bumpers.  These stores usually carry a small variety of sizes.

And in my opinion, you don't need to mark all the numbers on the microwave.  How often does anyone use the 7, 8, or 9?  I have marked the 2, 5, and 0.  I know to the left of the 2 is the 1.  To the right of the 2 is the 3, and so on.  The start and stop/clear should be marked, maybe with different size dots to tell the difference if this is a challenge.  If there is an ADD 30 SECONDS or ADD 1 MINUTE button, then they should be marked, too.  Good luck.

 I wrote down the name of a
 business that makes tactile overlays for
 appliances.  Not sure of the price, but I
 don't think it was outrageous.
 It's
 DeWitte's Etsy Shop.  Google will find it.  I think
 it's on Amazon,
 too.
 I
 haven't needed it myself yet, so don't know any
 details.

 Hi,
 
 I didn't have the money
 for a 400 some odd dollar microwave myself, so, what
 I did is go to Walmart yet the Velcro
 around.things that stick to things and
 use
 the hard one for one and two and three a soft one for
 numbers four and
 five and six the hard once
 again for seven, eight, nine a soft one for the
 number zero and because I have one that the
 clear and start button are on
 each side of
 the zero I have taken a hard one and put one on each side
 so
 that I can find where that button is.
 
 Also, when you use time cook
 then you can put a button on one of those, and,
 if you cook something like potatoes, pizza,
 things that I already have a
 setting, or
 blowing something out, you put a button specifically on
 that,
 but because you know where those
 buttons generally are on the microwave, you
 can sort of remember which is which i'm
 defrosting :-) God not having a
 Bluetooth
 keyboards a pain in the butt.
 
 So anyway, any questions, shoot me an email
