O2 clean stickers

[skdvr]

I am looking to buy some O2 clean stickers, and I was wondering if anyone had a good source for them. My LDS lets me use their tech room to clean my tanks since I took the gas blender course from them, but I feel like I am in the way when I am there for a few hours. I have enough tanks that it would just be much easier for me to do it at home. I am just curious about what those of you that clean your own tanks do for stickers? Did you buy a stack of them somewhere or do you buy them from your LDS?

Thanks

Can't you buy them from the dive store? Most VIP stickers have a spot to punch out for O2 cleaning.

My LDS uses two seperate stickers. One for just the Vis and one just for O2 cleaning... I could buy the O2 clean stickers from them one by one, I just did not know if there was a good source for a pack of them that may work out a little better or just be easier. I will still have to take my tanks in for the Vis so I guess I could just get the stickers then.

Hopefully next year I will take a Vis course... We will see though...

I print my own VIP and O2 stickers. I got a 100 sheet (6 per) vinyl label kit that goes through my laser printer. I am just about ready to order my second pack since 2003 (sold about 1/2 the original sheets on SB). I think I gave $50 for the package. When you have 17 tanks, this becomes more cost effective.

How well do the laser prints hold up?

Well, I originally thought if they lasted 6 months it would be good and I'd simply replace them but they last over a year no problem. I made a few bumper stickers with them as well and they lasted about 2.5 years in the elements.

Here's the material I use. I think next time, I'll go with the silver metallic weatherproof though.

Color Labels - White Matte Labels - Laser & Inkjet Printer Labels - OL172 - 3.75" x 3" - 6 Labels Per Sheet

Here is the label I use - at least the last iteration I made

While I agree that you can o2 clean your tank correctly by yourself, If I was the dive shop, I wouldn't sell you o2 clean stickers (or visual sticker) unless they had done the work themselves...

why? because they'd end up selling you a sticker with their shop name on it and if some third party used the tank and had an accident, then with their name on the sticker, they are automatically included in the lawsuit.

Why offer exposing yourself to liability like that as a shop owner just to sell a sticker ? seems pretty simple to me.

Nice job...

The stickers from my LDS are just DSAT stickers. I do not think that they have the shop name on them. I will have to check though when I get home...
