What I do is use a sponge, turn the label over and use a damp (not soaking
wet) sponge to wet the label and then apply it to the bottle. If you have
the bottle laying down, form the label into a 'U' and put the middle of the
label on the bottle and slowly lower your hands. I use a color ink-jet
printer and getting the label wet by dipping would make my ink run. I used
to use a laser jet which wouldn't run but I wanted to go to color.

Good luck,
