Jim,

When I used my CoCo a lot more than I do now (back in the day), I used 
to take a small piece of paper, lay it on a strip of cellaphane tape, 
and put that over the notch. I think I used black electrical tape a 
couple of times too, and maybe even masking tape.

But what I really enjoyed (and still have, and it works great) was the 
"removeable" WP cover I made - I took a strip of paper, the length of 
the side of the disk (plus a tad more), about 1/2 inch or so wide, 
folded in half, with the ends taped - I could then slip this over the 
edge of the floppy as a temporary WP tab.

Maybe this tip might be useful to someone else...
