Okay tell me you at least learned ONE new tape trick!
Yep. Don't worry, learned 2 new ones actually!
Is the tape made of paper or plastic?
I learned 2 new tricks. Thanks for that.
3
Yup
The 5 minute epoxy one😎
Oh yeah - learned several. I've used painter's tape for the exact same things you showed, but you took several of them a step or two further - stuff I didn't know. Thanks for these tips. Using the tape to actually squeeze the epoxy where you want it! Great idea - among others.
Another tape trick: before finish nailing, put a piece of tape across the nail location. Nail through the tape. Leave it on and spread wood filler over the nail holes. When the filler is dry, pull off the tape. Minimal sanding required for cleanup.
For the router groove stop, draw a large x on the stop line. You will then watch two diagonal lines converge at the stop line instead of it seeking up on you.
As a woodworker for nearly 50:years, these tips are some of the best tips I’ve seen in a long time! The epoxy mix & apply trick is priceless. Thanks a lot.
Hell, just having something to mix the epoxy ON is a good trick in itself. Almost every time I need to mix epoxy I have to look around for something to mix it on which is expendable. [If anyone's interested] I use the plastic lids to coffee containers. If you bend them after the epoxy has hardened the epoxy separates from the plastic lid and peels right off
Nice video. No dramatic music, no endless segments unrolling the tape or instruction showing how to stick it down. As the great Joe Friday use to say,, "Just the facts sir."
One more use. My DFG, (devoted girlfriend) has long used blue tape to label containers of leftovers in the refrigerator. Quite, quite, quite convenient. But the back marker is hard to read. I got her a roll of the waaaay more expensive yellow tape. I have been richly rewarded for my thoughtfulness. Thanks
Excellent tutorial! I learned several new tricks. I also use blue tape on my paint brush and caulking gun handles. When they get messy I replace it keeping the handles looking like new underneath. Thank you for the great tips!
Wish I read this one before painting my house lol
I tape over my magnet when I'm cleaning up shop and looking for loose nails. I just peel off the tape afterwards and collect the nails and dust, keeping my magnet clean. I do this for my magnetic level to keep it clean too. And then I can make marks on the tape for measurements if I need to.
I wrap a paper towel, plastic bag, etc. over the magnet. It comes off even more easily and can be used repeatedly until you've picked up everything. A wrapped magnet is also useful when drilling in ferrous metals - wrap the magnet and stick it next to the hole to collect most of the metal shavings, and then use it to clean up the drill bit.
oh man, wish I had known this before I let my grandkids use a magnet to find roofing nails in the dirt after we added a porch roof. The magnet is so dirty with iron shavings from the dirt now.... I can pull some off with my fingers, but the rest.... ??
Hey you just taught a 70 year old guy some new tricks, we're never to old to learn. Thank you
👍
"Because I personally can't retain anything" ... Right there with ya! Thanks for the tips!
Glad to know that I am not alone
Lots of good tips. You inspired me to share one as well. When I cook, I usually make enough for multiple meals. I use blue tape to make the labels because it is easy to read and comes off without trashing my glassware. Blue tape, it isn't just for the shop.
Lol, I always used masking tape or the yellow painters tape, which is pretty much the same. My dad does autobody for a living so we ALWAYS had the "good stuff" in the garage (he still does, but I live on my own now)...well, until he caught on that I used it for everything I didn't want taped permanently and hid it! Lol! Now, though, he's given up and if I ask to borrow something he laughs and says take whatever you need and I don't need the sandpaper back when you are done using it...lol, he gets the BEST sandpaper! ;P
I use freezer tape for that.
I use the blue painters tape in my sewing room.
U can also use a China Marker. Writes on glass, is microwave/water safe and wipes off dry.
Here's a suggestion for using the tape to mark the stops on your router table. The pencil mark on the start tape is easily visible, but the stop mark is only visible after the end of your piece slides past it. So draw an X in addition to the vertical line. As you push the piece through, you'll be able to see the two arms of the X revealed before you hit the stop. When they cross, you're there.
I just had the exact same thought!!
Or mark the end further along the left wing of the router fence.
@@stefinatrix3426 That's what I do so I can see the start and stop on one end.
Solution: put tape on table so you can see the tape edge as your line 😏
@@stefinatrix3426 Another example of why women are always right.
Just love how not in love with your own voice you are mate, right to it. Perfect (& a bit rare). Instant subscribe.
Blue tape tip: if you don’t have a dustpan available after sweeping the floor, grab a piece of paper or even cardboard, dust off a line on the floor with your hand (so tape will stick somewhat), and tape down one edge of your paper dustpan to the floor. Works great!
yes I will try at my home
Tip: If you're working on a project like fixing a computer and don't have a container and you've unscrewed the case and there are tiny loose screws about that you are afraid will get lost, you can tape them together w/ the blue tape and label them or make a small tray out of the blue tape.
Great tip. Now when I take a monitor apart I can lay the screws out sticky side up and instantly know where they go. 😎
EDIT: I could keep the first strip of tape flat with an ice cream stick on the sticky side and overlap two or three strips.
(I just took apart a keyboard that had three screw sizes. I could also lay out the keys in perfect order.)
I loved the epoxy trick, I'm stealing that!
One way to strongly improve your use of marked tape on the router fence to help you start and stop: its easy to start precisely because you can see the line before you begin, but stopping in time is harder because you need to stop the moment the mark becomes visible. To help with this, make your mark, then finish it with a sideways V, aka a "birdsmouth" mark. The resulting mark will look like a capital K. This way you can see the mark coming and know exactly how close you are to it before the actual stop mark becomes visible; you'll see the birdsmouth first, and it points directly to the stop mark.
Never thought of that--great idea!!
If you are looking for or need precision this is a bad idea. Tape does have a thickness, i feel the tape being used in the video is to short and needs to be longer down the fence so it is always under the piece being milled to keep things square........this results in being able to mark your finish mark to the left of your start line so it is always visible
Such a simple yet effective tip! Thank you for sharing, Keith Klassen! Appreciate ya! 🙂
I *love* the tip about mixing the epoxy on the blue tape and then creating a squeeze-tube for application. I’ve used blue tape for protecting the rails on vises during glue-up and it’s a really valuable tip!
Use on ceramic tiles. 1 - For marking out drill holes. 2 - When drilling it helps to prevent the drill bit from skidding across the glaze.
This guy's great. He gets right to the tips, no fillers.
There was literally a minute of bullshit at the start and 30 seconds after. 27% of this video is filler.
@@ninja250rvs WELL ACTUALLY... according to my calculations... you're an ASSHOLE 😂😂😂 Be safe! 👍
The fact that you think I am smart or talented or creative enough to add filler to my videos means you think very highly of me. So thanks.
@@ChErRyaVe20pK you're right... I'm the only asshole on CZcams 😉
@@InspireWoodcraft I never said I didn't think highly of you or don't appreciate the video :).
I used it for years as a depth gauge when drilling, but never thought to leave the little wings to see when you reach your depth, GREAT IDEA
Horrible idea. If the wood goes up the drill it can loosen the tape & the flag touches the wood, the tape crawls up the bit. Now you could drill the the wood & ruin the other finished surface. Worst idea ever “letting the flag touch the surface”. Shame, shame, shame
To be fair the wood should never go “up the drill bit”. It’s up to the person drilling to not go that far with the drill bit. This technique is used by thousands of successful and professional woodworkers all over, so saying that it is the worst idea ever is a bit naive.
@@bahbee5659 Wrong. It's a good idea, have used it for 30 years with no problem, not one. You're obviously not talking from experience.
this one is my favorite. Thanks!
Jody, I have been watching your videos since yesterday and have learned so much. You are an excellent teacher and I thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.
Great tips. Here's a couple of bonus ones (not for caprenters). If you have a particularly glossy tile and the water jet washes your lines away, cover the cut area with tape and mark it with anything. Sometimes if I have to drill into drywall for anchors, I make a little catch basin out of tape and stick it to the wall directly under the drill bit. Stick the top edge to the wall and fold it upwards. Catches every crumb if you do it right
When drilling a hole in plaster or drywall, use apiece of blue tape folded out to catch the particle from the drilling. easy cleanup!
Used to do that when I worked in a laboratory. Tape, a piece of paper, tape around the bit, no muss no fuss. Made clean up a matter of seconds.
Also works good at keeping wife happy when working in our home.
If you do a lot of holes, tape a plastic bag underneath and move to each hole
@@nathanconroy6722 Good tip! Thanks!
@@nathanconroy6722 Exactly. Now that we have the cheap plastic grocery bags back, hoard as many as you can for wall-drilling dust bags until the bags are banned again!
@@nathanconroy6722 Glad someone posted this tip. I drill through the plastic bag and tape the bottom to the wall. This even captures the airborne dust.
One of my favorites is to use blue tape to make a nice straight bead of caulk. When I tile a shower in every corner I use silicon grout caulk. Turns out perfect every time. Tape both sides leaving a consistent 1/4 lines caulk, wipe pull tape off away from lines.
Thank you so much! I cannot tell you how many times I've drilled to far down and ruined a project. I'd never thought of the tape flag idea. Also, using the tape to get a smoother cut is genius.
YOU ROCK
This was great, thanks. I do all of those except the one that I did learn from this was using the tape as a squeeze tube for 5 min epoxy. Thanks! A note on the tape as a scratch pad for writing down measurements, try using a piece of white Formica that is epoxied onto the tape measure. Cut it to fit and then file down the sharp corners as not to catch on anything. Write the measurements down or even draw a small geometric figure with the angles etc., when you’re done, just a little spit & rub it clean with your thumb. It’s easier, and shows pencil lead beautifully. It lasts the life of the tape.
Great video! I have two tip: 1) If need to put a screw into a recessed area where you can't get your fingers, tear off about a square inch of blue tape, then poke the screw through the center with the sticky side up towards the screwdriver, then wrap the sticky side around the tip of the screwdriver. The screw will stay on the tip of the screwdriver by itself, then you screw the screw into the wood or wall. #2) If you are doing a project like a bathroom remodel, where you have to fix or attend to several small details, like removing nails, or sanding a rough piece of wood, or touching up a painting defect, just put a small piece of blue tape next to the area so you can easily see it when you are ready to deal with the problem. That way you will not miss anything that you should have taken care of.
Aarrggghh How many screws have I dropped in awkward areas? What a simple trick for such an annoying swear-worthy issue. Thanks!
Watched this before making 12 hexagon shelves, and that tape barrier to catch glue saved me so much time. Thanks a million!
if your trying to drill into a metal pipe, something like a bicycle handle you can wrap a piece of blue tape around it not only to mark your spot but its great to keep the drill from sliding everywhere it keeps in 1 spot without the need to dent the area like some people do.
The last one with the tape measure!!! Wow!! Game changer.
Great collection of tips. One I use a lot is the using the tape to mark and drill the holes like you did, but then I peel off that same piece of tape and use it to mark on the wall where I need to drill matching holes. The tape becomes the template. You just have to be cautious not to stretch it as it will change the shape.
Wow that’s a really great idea! Thanks for that! Transferring marks can be such a pain without a helping hand.
aannnd that's one I'm stealing for tomorrow's floating shelf install.
Just use the wood as a guide for the holes!!
@@markw3598 - That won't work if they're blind holes. Otherwise, yep.
Way better than my method of putting lipstick around the drilled space then mashing the leveled piece to the wall in order to transfer the 'blind' screw holes to the wall! Thanks for this bonus tip!
I’ve been doing drywall for 35 years and you taught me several new tricks. Thanks man. I’ll pass some of these on to my viewers one day.
The 90-degree angle … never thought to use blue tape as a hinge. Good one.
The one on the Tear-out on the miter saw is one ive never thought of, gonna start utilizing the tips.
unlike many vids like of this nature. this one actually lived up to its name. kudos man
Great video, I also like how straightforward yours are, and no distractions. I honestly can't say I learned any new ones, but that is simply because of sixty-one years in the shop. You've hit on truly useful tips and no fluff. Two thumbs up!
That last one was so simple but yet so genius! Can't believe I didn't think of that. If I would have known about that thirty years ago that would have saved me so many miles walking back and forth and much frustration!
I can't live without blue tape. Good ideas.
One of the most informative tutorials I have ever seen. Worth saving and referring to in the future too.
Awesome tips! I'll definitely be using them. Thanks for the no bs, no music informative content.
Thanks from Western Australia. Never too old to learn!
You missed the most important one. Using it to stop the blood flow after running a drill bit through your finger
Wish you'd told me yesterday 😂🤣😉👍
3/16 through the thumb, hurts just thinking about it
@@terrysee2021 try a number 3 Phillips head. Lol
It wasn’t for a drill bit, but I have done this before.
Super Glue!
Love the one about using the tape like a frosting pipette to squeeze out the epoxy! I use tape as a temporary mixing spot all the time, but never thought about this use. Love it!
I use this blue tape for cutting out sink and hob holes in dark kitchen worktops (as you cannot see the pencil lines). Also use the tape when sealing the worktop against the wall, keeps the sealant edge neat and tidy...Learned some additional tricks from your video...Be Safe.
I've been a woodworker for 30+ years and I learned some stuff. Mixing the epoxy...stopping tearout--great ideas--thanks!
I don't know anything about woodwork but here I am watching this. Fast, interesting, no messing about. Lots of CZcamsrs could learn from you. Well done.
Everything you showed was a learning experience for me , thanks ! And here I thought this was going to be about painting .
At the end of this video you say "I can't retain anything." You are however very creative with the woodworking which indicates you are a ADD person. Nothing wrong with that, most creative artists have it. Music, drawing, photography, acting, just about anything creative. I'm a retired photographer, I have it. My brother is a musician in Nashville and he has it. It's really a blessing in disguise, you have a wider vision than other, keep up the great work, loved the tips.
Oh yes, I can vouch for that! Im an artist and I have to close my art rooms curtains for the summer, otherwise I end up only ruining really expensive brushes watching those damn cute squirrels and their babies. They live in a huge pine just few yards in front of my window and I swear they know about my ADD. Our cats take advantage of me and score some bribery treats on the regular. But I wouldnt have it any other way, there havent been a problem I couldnt solve yet :)
Frank Pearce: We are a family of 5 girls and 2 boys. All of us have the "focus" problem -- we get distracted very easily. My younger brother was diagnosed with ADHD and I wondered if the rest of us have ADD. Although they say that females don't get ADD as easily as males and that people outgrow the ADD and ADHD, I think researchers are wrong. We're all over 50 and we still have all the focus/non-focus problems and we all are creative in many different ways. It's amazing what you can discover in these blogs. Thank you for sharing this information. It's most appreciated.
I'm a floral designer and like to use masking tape instead of bandages, it's waterproof and it does not stick to your skin either. I enjoyed all your tips and will definitely wrap my pieces of wood prior to cutting it with a saw. It's a wonderful product and thank you for your video.
Writing measurements on the side of your tape is a strong use of that blue gold. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to walk up the steps and back into the house because I second guess my memory. Thanks for the video. Have a swell day too. 😎
The epoxy trick alone was worth the price of admission. Thanks.
Great tips! I have also used tape to adjust a dado cut. If your first cut is just a bit thin add a length of tape on your fence and run the piece through again. Most tape runs between.004 & .005 thick. Use multiple length on top of one another to keep adjusting the cut.
Good tip! I’ve done that before for other things too. Thanks for sharing!
Good round 2 candidate
I know I am hypnotized by CZcams when I watch stuff like this. I have not been in the same room with a table saw since I was 16 years old. Still, watched to the end and gave it a thumbs up. Why? donno.
I was watching your video out of curiosity. Many of these tips I was familiar with but the one idea for the stop and start on the router table was new to me, ingenious and timely as I'm making a double sided epoxy river charcuterie board out of walnut for a friend and was pondering how best to make the end finger depressions. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make this useful video.
That epoxy glue on blue tape I've used multiple times however it NEVER occurred to me to just squeeze it right out of the tape 🤯
Haha! It’s the little things!
That was an awesome idea!
Call me dumb ass, but what is the purpose of this?
@@craigc1463 I also didn't get the point of it. The wood isn't glued together and you threw the tape away.
@@williamolson5728 Ever try to scribe two exact copies for a custom wood project?
" I personally, cant retain anything "... I feel ya on that one for sure....there was a few I hadnt seen before...the glue funnel was my favorite...thanks guy😜👍
I wrap all my cuts to prevent blow out and to mark cut lines. Anyone who sees this thinks I’m going a little overboard until they see the crisp cut line with no blow out. Most of them have started doing the same on their projects.
I still prefer double stick tape because the doubled over paint tape trick can wiggle a little bit, especially if I’m tracing a pattern on a bearing trim router bit. That said, I have used this shop hack in a pinch.
I do need to start taping inside miter glue-ups. I always seem to remember it…AFTER…I see the squeeze out. lol
Oh, and it also works great to mask surfaces for painting. Unlike the other (tan) masking tape, the blue tape can be left on indefinitely without leaving residue(tape glue) left from the tape
"I can't personally retain ... anything" Boy! do I relate.
lay off the weed, its bad for your memory retention : )
Jody, you’re a genius. I live watching your clips. Good content, great presentation style. Especially the whole series in shou sugi ban.
Excellent tips for using painters tape. I use it everywhere. If I have to draw cut lines on sheet material I put down some tape and my pencil lines go on it instead of my work piece. Same when doing measurements on a house wall for mounting things like shelving, TV holding brackets to hanging pictures. The tape on the drill bit tip I have used for years. Had to cut some of the length off of some room doors, taped my cut line and got a burr free cut. Use the tape when caulking. Or to stick on different parts that I am cutting for a project and I can write on the tape to identify the parts like front, back, right, left, etc. That tape is an extremely valuable thing to have in your shop. More and more uses for it emerge over time. Thanks for sharing your tips.
I don't know any thing about construction, but you never know when it might come handy to know all this tricks. thank you very much for sharing.
For hammering in loose tiny pin nails, fold a piece up and stick it through the tape to help hold the nail in place to nail in..
👊😠
Bullet benefits
With" less is more " delivery
Brilliant
I love the tip for avoiding tear out! Thank you so much!
For years, I've found many uses for masking tape, but "masking" has taken on a whole new meaning for me now. Many thanks...;-)
Didn't know I could love the blue tape more. Thank you!
I just discovered that one where you wrapped tape around the board to prevent splinters when cutting is also good for drilling into endgrain of small pieces without splitting the wood.
Works on Fiberglass too
I hoped to learn at least one new thing and I learned several! Also, your videography and editing are really nice, and I love that you don't cover up your speaking with annoying music. THANKS OVERALL 👍👍😁👍👍
Mixing and squeezing epoxy was brilliant! I could of used that several times in the past! Thx for sharing!!
Really good tips. Thanks! I especially liked the one where you taped the end of the wood before cutting to keep it from splintering. I will def. use that a lot.
Router table start n stop, hadn’t thought Of that one!
When I was working, I wished I'd known about a piece of tape on my tape measure. Would have been very helpful, cutting and rinning black iron pipe.
As an “seasoned female” lol I do a lot of my own dyi projects around the house. This video gave me some great tips! Especially the one to specify my drilling depth.....genius! Sometimes a person just needs to stop and think outside the box! lol Thank you.....
Saw two additional one on YT vids. One was to put a little plaster dust catcher under where drilling in a wall. The other was reminder to use it to establish clean silicone caulk lines. A few of yours def didn't think about, great stuff. Thanks.
Mark the one surface of a piece to remember what is front, back, left or tight side, etc.
Especially the tight side! ; )
I definitely love that last tip I have a hard time retaining information too, Thank u.
The older I get, the worse the ability to remember short term gets. Ever go to a location in your house and forget why you went there (for what)? Also, technology makes it worse. Why try to remember someone's phone number when it's in your phone directory?
@@normanerwin4242 haha right it's so frustrating. I feel forgetfulness is becoming a lot more common to especially among the younger generation
@@spwan10 Not enough reading books, learning from on-line videos. Not the same at all. Kids today can't read cursive and many fail to do math without a calculator. Give so much social media, so many are incapable of critical thinking.
@@normanerwin4242 I personally dont hold cursive in high regards. But I couldn't agree more about math, large amount of people lacking a rational thoght process in order to critically think
Wow, lots of great ideas I can take into my quilting room! Thanks for the video😃
Yes, putting tape on the measuring tape and writing the measurements on there. Genius!!!!!
#MadeItToTheEnd
That’s a cool note I learned from another you tuber.
I learned that you can use the tape on a 90 degree cut to protect from glue squeeze out, and to protect staining progress. I have done a couple projects that have had stain and the glue would leave residue and the stain would discolor the material. Thanks for the video. I’ll be marking this one to come back to!
Thanks for watching till the end! I really appreciate that!
I like a "NO DRAMA" tutorial where the host talked about "Look at me !" crap... Very informal and to the point !
And no annoying music during the presentation!
I saw your video ages ago and came across it again. Your hints with blue tape are fantastic and as soon as I saw them my memory came back. Thank you. This is a great video!
Brilliant! I've been doing this for a long time and a few of them were new to me. Thanks for the tips!
I love the last one with the tape measure. I'll be doing that for sure. And then if I can just not lose my tape measure I'll be set.
I lose tapes all the time! So, I always have THREE tape measures. I lose one, grab the next one, and by the time I’ve lost THAT one, the first one has been found. Lather, rinse, repeat,
I keep one at every saw, every table, and a couple on the wall. I still turn in circles saying wtf?...
Yep. I always start a job with a FatMax or my Milwaukee with Magnetic end. Then I have three or four dollar store ones scattered around. By the time the jobs done I will of used my nice one about 10% of the time and it will come up missing the other 90%. Then right when the job's done I'll trip over it.
Awesome tips!
I really like the tip of putting blue tape on the side of tape measure. So cool.
Thank you! I picked up some great tips! I don't normally use power tools, but your ideas can be adapted to hand tools.
Excellent tips on using blue tape! You have a new subscriber! :)
looks like we have the same idea, this video made me clicking on that red button too!
Thank you!
You can also blue tape your helpers mouth so he won’t talk while you’re trying to figure stuff out
Duct tape works much better for that....
Yeah, or superglue...
My helper wears heels and there isn’t blue tape strong enough to keep things quiet.
Or vise versa, use it on your micro managing boss watching over your shoulder telling you how to fasten a screw!!!LOL (Just speaking from personal experience! )😂
Love these ideas - didn't know any of them. Especially like the "anti-glue overrun" ones.
the epoxy on the blue tape I thought "yeah done that a million times" then you used the tape to squeeze it out and couldn't believe I never thought about that! awesome tips keep it up!
Tip: If you want to remember something import, instead of tying your finger w/ string; you can tape your finger w/ blue tape and write a little note on the tape to jog your memory. You can do this for all 10 fingers and 10 toes, if you're tasked w/ remembering a lot of things - you just remove one tape at a time after you complete each task.
I'll bet this tip comes in handy on exam day! :)
Or you could just place a reminder on yr phone.
I love the tape-measure note-pad thing.
As if I could remember to stick some tape to my tape and bring a felt pen in my pocket when I begin measuring.. Ha!
Felt pen? Real pros use a carpenter's pencil. Happy projects!
Glue squeeze tube was brilliant. Definitely going to use that one.
All of these are keepers. And you moved right along. This CZcams as it should be done. 👏👏👏👏👏
Use blue tape to caulk. Looks perfect every time
Especially silicone caulking and grout caulking.
Painter trick: stick the end under your shoe, and while stepping down on it, roll out a couple feet of tape. Now you roll your new roller nap up and down the sticky side of the tape. It will pull off all the excess lint and fuzz that might booger up your paint job.
Get a damp hand and wipe two-three times it does the same and saves the tape!
@@jamusmorrison3073 a damp hand? I don't think so. You can use like a whole foot of tape, wow. I doubt your wet hand is gonna pull off as much fuzz as it takes to dull the stickiness of the tape.
Been painting for couple years and it’s always worked for me.
@@jamusmorrison3073 I have been painting for the last twenty years and I can take any nap you think is fine and tape will pull more loose fibers off. It's just the manufacturing process. There are lots of loose hairs, even on the most expensive brands.
instead of wasting 2min, of time, and blue tape i would just spend a little extra on a micro fiber roller. it gives a much better finish as well
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. And big thanks for putting a link to the tape itself in the description. Because "everybody" is talking about this type of tape but I've never seen it
over here in Slovakia (Europe). To do what you did I use three other types of tape, paper base tape, double sides tape and duct tape which all have their issues.
This blue tape seems so much more universal. The tip of mixing 5 minutes epoxy on tape and then pouring it into a hole is awesome. That's the one I learned today.
Tesa sell something very similar.
@@drewscreen Thanks for your comment. I did some research and I found out that Scotch is a part of 3M (or vice versa). Both brands are for sale in Slovakia, but this blue tape I haven't found yet. I'll wait till the lock down is over. In a "normal" store it's easier to ask for something than in an internet-store. I'll keep the TESA brand in mind. (also for sale here)
OMG, there are three tips I can use this week. Thanks ever so much for sharing. So glad you popped up on my recommended video watch list.
I would actually call this inspirational! A lot of my ideas come spontaneously as a need arises but this lets me think of the blue tape as versatile tool and plan ahead how I can use it. This was great. Thanks. (if this was an "in person thing" and there was no pandemic - a firm handshake would be in order).
And a beer
Oh yeah! I already know all the...wait...wow I haven’t seen that before...and that...and that! 😉👍
Super cool ideas . . one more from the Tech Side. . I mount TV's on the wall. Use the Blue tape to mark where the mount will be and the holes for the lag bolts into the studs . drilling thru the tape helps to prevent tear out of the sheetrock (clean). Also, use a length of tape over the full lip of the dust pan with 1/2 the width of the tape then use the other half to tape the dustpan to the wall (third hand) to collect the sheetrock dust. Remove the mount area tape from the wall . no marks and clean holes. Tape the back side of the TV mount before going on the wall and it helps to prevent the Mount from sticking to the wall and tearing off a chunk of paint / sheetrock. Love the glue mix / pour idea. Wonderful.
