Tried terminal block labeling with a Brother P-Touch and wow it actually saved me an hour
I was redoing a mess of wiring in a King Air panel last week and kept mixing up my terminal blocks cause my handwriting sucks lol. Some guy at the hangar suggested I use the Brother P-Touch with the heat shrink tube labels instead of hand writing everything. I spent 15 minutes making labels for each terminal and it saved me like an hour of double checking continuity. Anyone else got a trick for keeping terminal blocks straight on tight jobs?

I read about a guy who uses colored heatshrink rings on his terminal blocks instead of labels, color codes them to a legend he keeps in the lid of his toolbox. Swears by it for quick visual checks without squinting at tiny text. Could be worth a try if you're doing a lot of similar panels back to back. Heard it saves even more time than a P-Touch if you plan your colors right before you start pulling wires.
