Memo pad material on Toyo 4x5 Holders

Ok this may seem a little picky, but I have a handful of Toyo 4x5 holders that have lost their little memo pads. Of course I have put plastic electrical tape on them so I can scratch the film type or other notes there with a pencil - but this tape doesn’t hold pencil writing very well.

It is so easy to just write on the original pads and erase and repeat as needed, that I want to fix these with some type of tape or material that is similar. Masking tape is not that great in thst it deteriorates and crumbles easily.

Does anyone have any suggestion to solve this first world problem of mine?

Thanks - I have some writable memo tape coming and if that doesn’t cut it I try paint

That tape works great - easily writable and erasable with a pencil - it is Post-It removable Labeling Tape.

thats cool, I'll have to look into it to see if its useful. So far I've gone the ultra cheap route--blue "artists tape" and a sharpie. Then I pull it off after the film is removed and developed, and new tape when reloaded.

I’m not sure how long each one will last - but it acts just like the original memo pad and is easy to erase. I’m a little obsessive about little things like this, so this is worth it to me
