Team CDCB Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Okay, I'm going to release a TB soon here that has a semi-complex mission. I want it to visit a large number of different locations, but the order isn't important. To that end, it might be hard for someone to know what has or hasn't been done. So, I'm going to make this TB out of a DeCon container with a sort of 'check list' inside of it that people can check off when a goal is done. Now, I'm wondering the best was to "decorate" this little guy. I'm thinking of epoxying the dog tag to the inside lid of the container so that: A. It won't get lost. B. The Container won't be very usable for other things and won't get stolen. But I figure I also need to label it on the outside so people know what it is when they start looking through the cache as well. Anyone know if they make Travel Bug stickers? What marker/paint would hold up best over the long haul? Any suggestions? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+Castle Mischief Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Because there is so much great advice and it would be difficult to list it all in one post, I'm going to direct you to this thread over in the Travel Bug sub-forums. Your concept is lightly different than some of the "standard" TBs, but that link will give you a great place to start with. Quote Link to comment
Team CDCB Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 DRAT! Should've looked over all the forums first. Sorry. Thanks for the link though. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Gluing the tag to the container is fine but I would recommend putting it on the outside. The larger the size of the bug the fewer caches it can be dropped in. I'm not sure how much information you will be providing but couldn't you use something smaller? I had a bug with a checklist and used like a dog collar information bottle. It looks like those little pill bottle thingies. It held a fairly long (rolled) piece of paper. Almost 2 inches wide 22 inches long - two sided of course - with room to spare. Edited July 15, 2009 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment
+va griz Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Decon lids flex a lot in normal use, so I would think any adhesive would fail quickly. Maybe you could punch a couple holes in the lid and wire or ty-rap it together? Quote Link to comment
