Put a label on the back of the block and then a couple of drops of paraffin.
It acts like glue!

I used to use a 4x4 with a little Americlear or Xylene to clean the paraffin
off before relabeling. You can then dip or run a little paraffin over it. May
not be practical if you have a lot.

Scrape with a knife, AND clean block with gauze and xylene (under a hood),
relabel with permanent marker, dip re-labeled block in paraffin to protect.
The trick is to get ALL the paraffin off the writing surface.

Hello, we are using the labels from the Brady label maker with good success.
They are extra sticky and you can find some that will stick to paraffin. We use
ones that qualify for freezing since they need to be safe on the ice tray.

IMHO, any stick on label, no matter how good the adhesive, is not as safe
as writing on the block itself.
