True, and a dot or two may hold up for awhile.

Good Morning Judy and everyone, this might sound like a crazy idea, but, how

about the caulking material that is used to seal the edges of tubs and 
showers.
Since it will be on the bottom of the mug, it won't come into contact with 
your mouths.
It does stand up to heat pretty well too.

I'm not sure how Hi-Marks will hold up in the dishwasher, but it was used to
mark the area around the knobs on the stove.  The knobs were on the back of
the stove and they held up to all of that heat, and washing.  Now, I did not
scrub hard, but the cloth had cleanser or water and white vinegar on it.

Great idea.  Does it hold up through dishwashing?

Hi Judy,

Consider using Hi-Marks.  A tube can be obtained from such places as
Independent Living Aids (ILA)Maxi-Aids, etc.  It dries hard, has held up
well for me in various applications, and not only provides tactile marks,
but it is a very bright color.

HTH,
Annette

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
