Did the same with my box James. Although I sprayed mine with fixitive. I like your tape idea better.
Great tip. I have a similar chart, but didn't label the swatches, and don't have the clear tape, yet. Off to remedy those situations I go...
I should make a chart like this for my watercolors. Thanks for the tip.
Ahhh charts.....I love charts. Place is smothered in them. Best charts/swatches method for watercolours that I've found is Bruce MacEvoys invaluable resource "Handprint". The swatches and how to go about them is to be found close to the bottom of the page. When I started out on WC I went a bit silly and have over 150 tubes. The swatches are a great way to remember their individual characteristics and add a bit of bling to the studio wall -

...hope you dont mind my sharing James. I'm just a tad dotty when it comes to charts.
I made the labels in a table in Excel, put a strip of tape over them before cutting out and placing in the watercolor box.
