Pro-tip: leave a courtesy tab when you finish with tape. Just fold the end over on itself. You’ll thank yourself next time.
I hate how real this is
I use a paperclip on the edge now. Solves the problem
Because after the usage you should fold the edge on itself, not stick it as it is.
Beat me to it. It was a trick I learned online from a professional gaffer showing how he puts tabs on all of his tape. The second best option for if you don’t want to waste tape or have these tags on everything you tape is to use the plastic or paper tabs they use on bread and when you finish off the tape leave a little extra and then stick the bread tabs to it because then you can just peal off the tabs and the tape will be still sticky.
That’s all well and good until you live with other people.
Amen.
Pro-tip: Invest in a pistol grip dispenser guns, cheap ones start at like $10 and pay for themselves in saved anger quite rapidly.
No matter how rarely you think you’d use it - it’s worth it.
I use those tape guns at my job all the time. They still piss me off frequently.
Stop edging it and actually get it off.
extra thin
ktape can fuck right offI hate when my tape thinks too much
yeah, me too
Just use your fingernail to feel the edge. Don’t try to find it with your eyes.
y’all realize they mark the edge of the tape with a line on the inside of the roll, right?
