[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Tactile markings for mugs?

[Henry Osborne]

You could also put a rubber band around the bottom below the handel.

If it is to only identify your own mug, make a knitted or crochet mug cozy.
If you do not  want to make one the ones for cans, just might fit a mug.
These can be removed for washing.
If you need more than one, you could make a design with beads, like a 
letter.  So many ideas to tell one from another.

Hi,



Our church has this thing where everyone has a mug for coffee assigned to 
them.  Getting "mugged," is a way of extending a warm welcome to people 
involved in Bible studies and fellowship.



Our names have been placed on the mugs in permanent marker, which, of 
course, does not help us identify our own mugs.



There are several that lookand feel exactly alike, and the engravings are 
not tactile enough for distinctions.



I actually took the mugs home, in hopes of being able to affix permanent 
glue dots.  The strongest glue we have is not lasting through an 
experimental wash, and the traditional waterproof glue, such as Goop, is 
rubbery intexture and comes off easily.



Does anyone have any ideas on how to best mark the bottomof our mugs that 
will not come off in a washing.



I was, at first hoping to use a notch file to make a mark on the bottom 
edge, but didn't work either.



I have not mastered super glue, since it is so runny.



The only thing I can think of is bringing our own mugs that are different 
from those at church.



Plus, I would like to hear about others' experiences using the crazy glues 
or super glues, looking for good nonvisual techniques.  I am successful with 
thicker glues, such as wood glue, elmers, Goop, etc., but could always learn 
more for sure.



Thanks for any ideas!



Judy
