Default wire label coating

I'm rewiring my tractor. See thread below. While I'm here, I'm taking an
extra couple hours and putting wire number labels on each end of each wire.
Plus writing down the apparent function while rewiring to include fuses.

Anyway, the wire labels are semi exposed. Most of them will be gone in 5 or
more years when I got trouble again. Anybody heard of a clear coat that
would seal these and hold them on? Other ideas?

Are you using proper numbered+coloured ferrules over the wires for the
labeling? If so, they won't need protection. If not, get some :-) Forget
anything that involves writing or printing on labels, it isn't worth the
effort.
