[Article about eraseable disks]
...
You don't even have to go to this much trouble.  Just buy Kao diskettes,
or some other diskette brand that has a smooth (non-grainy) surface where
the disk label is supposed to stick, and write directly on the surface
with a NON water-soluble ink, as before.  Then, use isopropanol or some
other equivalent solvent to erase as needed.  Be careful not to get
alcohol onto the disk case, seams, it may wick inside.

Or, do what I do not--go and buy a whole bunch of the small removeable
labels (like Avery makes), say about 1" by 2" or whatever size strikes
you fancy, and use those.  They are much easier to remove than normal
diskette labels.  Make sure you get the REMOVEABLE kind--otherwise
you'll have problems again.
