Get ahold of some VHB Very High Bond double sided foam tape from 3M. You can buy little dabs of this from Radio Shark, probably larger rolls from Grainger, McMaster, and many others. It's not cheap in big rolls, but you can probably buy small quantities. It will stick to anything, cut it to shape around your label and apply. The foam will adhere to a rough surface. Sticks immediately, bond strength increases for a day. After 24 hours, you will not be able to get it off without destroying it. The thinnest grade should do. This is not your hardware store double sided tape. That stuff is for sticking notes to refrigerators. This stuff is often used to mount printed circuit boards. A 1/8" thick piece is stuck to the bottom of the PCB, right over the component leads lumps and all, then slapped onto the inside of a case. We used it in a steam iron. In a hot, wet environment sticking to slick plastic, it never comes off. -- Lawrence Lile Senior Project Engineer Toastmaster, Inc.

I have a few cases similar to: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=39196 The surfaces are aluminum, but with a sort of textured surface. I would like to put some stickers (decals) on these cases, but I am having trouble getting things to stick to the non flat surface. Any ideas of what I could do? I was thinking about getting some 5 minute epoxy, spreading a thin layer on the case to even out the bumps, then pressing the sticker into the epoxy. It should work, but I'm worried I won't be able to contain the epoxy, it will spread wider than the sticker, and then look ugly. Any other ideas?
