RE: 5080LC: Prelabelled Button Caps



Thanks Phil. I Think I'll have some then...

I don't suppose there's any possibility of custom made ones are there? -
either to order, or even DIY... - I want one that says "Heating",
"Heat"
or "Heater".. There doesn't appear to be one that already says
that in
the screenshot of the product.. Although I see there is one with a
symbol that could be a viable alternative, but I'd still like to have
the word if possible.

Cheers.

Paul G.
