    An excellent product.

    My biggest problem with this product is I lose them too often.

    General Comments

    You might consider putting a notch about the size of a pencil in the perimeter to accomodate various instrument reset control knobs etc.

    Pros

    Accomplishes the essential - removing the distracting erroneous gage from scan.

    Cons

    I'd prefer red, orange, or yellow in order to highlight the fact the gage is indeed inoperative.

    Good weight, covers well.

    Doesn't stick to the instrument very well. I've tried moistening it, and it still falls off.

    It works as advertised. I don't know how long they will last since I've only used them once. It looks like it would be a long term investment.
