Double-Duty Muslin

I use muslin to protect my worktable when spray-basting small projects. Instead of washing the oversprayed fabric or using it again as a drop cloth, I save the muslin for labels. The barely coated sticky side grips the work surface as I freehand the information with a permanent pen on the clean side.
