Groovy idea, eliminating a major minor annoyance, but div you gots any links on chemicals that can change colour when they come into contact with the air. I understand that lettuce does this, but it takes time. |
|
|
is there a glue which loses its stickiness on contact with air so that the end is permanently flapping about? |
|
|
Po, um... well, never mind; nonstick plastic strips from a tape dispenser could be fun, too. |
|
|
you could add the glue after... |
|
|
If the tape turns clear, how do you know you're not looking at the blue tape underneath it? |
|
|
Maybe the free end should turn blue? So that way, when in use, pressed up against a surface, it would go back to clear? |
|
|
This is a very nice idea. Perhaps, instead, have the reactive substance embedded within the tape itself rather than the adhesive so that just the exposed end--the torn edge--oxidizes to a contrasting color. |
|
|
In fact, the oxidation may not be needed at all were there a contrasting color material within the tape or if the tape color were merely a thin coating so that the torn or cut edge stands out in clear relief. |
|
|
I remember there being a very similar idea posted here some time ago. I'll cast about and see if I can find it, provided it's still in the database. |
|
|
"Colored" transparent tapes are finding some vogue here; having the tape already a color and the adhesive oxidize to another would provide a visible contrast. Or, for grins, a color-change treated adhesive that is printed onto the tape in a pattern, say one that spells "Free End" or "Save the Whales," what have you. |
|
|
Thought this was going to be a duct-tape form of reactive armour, simple to apply and useful for repelling small-arms fire. |

Great Idea. I run into this problem all the time and can only laugh at all the times ive seen other people fight this tedious problem. Maybe you could licence this idea to staples or something.

Do you think the color of the torn end could be changed to a desired color AbyssUK? |

Great Improvement on the [Improved Tape] Idea! |
