actually, I would really have liked that, as I didnt recognize a good number of those tapes and would like to learn more. Maybe you should teach a course at the community college and fall in love with one your students who will, of course, understand the glory of adhesives

GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cool! I've always had the problem that the adhesive on electrical tape dosent really do such an enduring job of sticking to the tape, and so tends to get all over things and covered with dirt. Blech. So when are you going to publish this online compendium, or Tape-ionary, as it may be called?

You're a dork. A huge huge ridiculous lovable dork.

In other news, this list is awesome. And I google[image]d some of the tapes i wasn't familiar with. So, thanks for teaching me something!
