6. Make sticky tape with small square pieces of non-sticky
tape cover paper every 3 cm, making it non-sticky at that point. Perforation allows the tape to be cut at this point, and thus you can hold the slice of tape from two non-sticky sides and paste it on.
Never again will
you have to look for the lost end of tape.
If you ever need to have a long stretch of scotch tape stick along all its length (which happens only once or twice in a lifetime) you can always peel the "non-sticky" covers back off.

is this great idea at least in its second part as usual not clear? |
|

OK, I'll edit it... Here goes |

@a1, Yeah, but you always lose it just before folding it back. |

I wrote the first part of the original idea so unclear that I have no idea what I meant with it. Now, it's erased. |

//I can be as unclear as you! Wouldn't it be easier to fold 1 or 2 mm of the sticky side back on to itself, after taking the piece you need?// |

As a really serious tape user, I can recommend tape dispensers. Or, in one of the paper labelling tapes I use (Scientific stuff from Fisher) It's wound in such a way that the top surface is under tension. Such that unless you stick it down, the end wants to curl back on itself. If that could be built into all tape, I think civilization would move forward for a change. |
