Default "Stick-on" dial in numbers............

Anyone using those stick on numbers? I`m tired of the old shoe polish, that stuff (flakes) ends up all over the place! Do those things stay on or are they a pain in the butt too?

Thanks.

i use stick on numbers, the only problem is when its cold out and they dont want to stick. i just blast the heat on them for a while, or if the car is still hot from driving there i sit em on the intake manifold for a few min.
my father has a little "sing" kinda thing where you twist these little rollers and it moves a piece of plasic with 0123456789 on it. it has 4 "spaces" and suction cups to stick right to your window, i like it better than my stick on numbers cuz its easier to change and theres nothing to lose, or if you cant find 3 #3's on or something it doesnt matter because you just twist the **** till the 3 comes up.
he also has one that looks like a digital clock. where each number has that little "section" you just flip it to the white/black side so it looks like the number you want. for example: an 8 would have all 7 of the little sections marked in white, and if you wanted to change it to a 0 you just turn the middle one around and it becomes black like the rest of the thing.
well, its hard to explain but it makes sense to me, just let me know if its hard to understand and ill try to reword it

I tried the stick on #'s one time, a few of them blew off during my run. I always use the Geddex Dial-in Marker. That stuff is not shoe polish and works great!

Me too. I get regular dial in marker right at the track store. Wipes right off dry with no residue.
