I have been building 17 raised panel doors for our kitchen cabinets in a
cabinet refacing project. There are only 4 of the doors that are the same
size. This means that the stiles, rails and raised panels in most of the
doors are different sizes. To identify each of the different sized parts, I
used some self adhesive file folder labels on the unfinished wood as it was
cut to size to identify which parts went with which door and where each
completed door would go in the kitchen. The labels have been on the wood
only 4 days now. When I went to remove the labels today there is a sticky
adhesive residue that remains on the wood. I do not look forward to removing
this residue as it is just more work.
My question is what type of labels should I have used to identify the parts
from my cut list? Are there labels that will not leave a residue that will
interfere with the finish on my parts?

Might try gummed labels that you actually lick or wet to stick. These
will leave
a dry glue that should easily sand off.
To get the residue off I have used the rubber sticks that are used for
cleaning sanding belts. It worked for the label I had. YMMV

Cut off the sticky part of Post-It notes and use as label.

I do the David Marks and use the low-tack masking tape. Holds better than
post-its and haven't yet left it on long enough or gotten it warm enough to
cause permanent transfer.
Lacquer thinner or acetone, followed by sandpaper is the only solution I can
think of to residue.

#2 pencil
Would he have been better advised to have simply used a pencil?
Or would this have proved worse?

Can I assume the doors aren't finished yet? If so, you can buy alcohol based
adhesive remover at your drug store that should remove the stickyness
without harming or otherwise affecting the wood. An alternative is to get
some 2" shipping tape and dab the stick areas with it to remove the residue.

I'm sure there are easy to remove labels available, but I don't know of any
offhand. What I do know of is paper tape that is commonly used for medical
purposes or painter's tape used for sectioning areas during painting.
They're both easy to remove and do not leave residue.

From personal experience, I'd not recommend this for any wood with open
pores.

I learned that tip from Tom Plamann. I was reading something on his site
about making tambours and he mentioned gluing paper to the pieces and then
sanding it off, IIRC I think he did that to hold every thing together
while he glued the canvas backing on the back side.

Use some denatured alcohol to remove the adhesive.
DO NOT use alcohol containg any water the you will find at the drug store.
In the future, use 3M "Blue Tape" in the future for labels.
Blue tape is good for about a week.
Lew
Use a pencil and when ready to remove markings, use alcohol -- markings come
right off.

Perhaps, but labels are really easy to see and read if you use a printer. A
regular pencil mark is very easily removed with paint thinner but again on
some medium to dark woods it can be tough to see.

Skip labels, write on them with a marker. In some place that will be
covered by something else like an end.

I use post-it tape. It's a continuous roll of sticky post-it
note material. It peels right off and doesn't leave a residue.

That's not a bad idea except that the post-in notes that I've used tend to
fall off very easily. Guess it would work if the work was mostly laid flat
and not vertical.
Any thing that will stick to the wood will affect the finish in that area.
Don't care what they promise, it will. Especially if you are going to use a
stain. Even if you aren't going to use a stain. It will show, maybe not so
anyone else will notice, but you will, and you'll have to look at it
forever. Believe me, I know. I lived with blotches for 30 years. Finally
moved. But when I go back to visit,(daughter lives there now) I still look
to see if they are still there. At the time, I didn't have the room to keep
everything stacked separate on a marked sheet of paper or anything, so i
brought home some stickers from work, and even stuck them on the edges so it
wouldn't be obvious. Now , no one else notices, but I know they are there
and it drives me batty when I am there.

Just sand the labels off when you do your finish sanding. Works for me.
