It can be absolutely frustrating when using Scotch Tape (or any “invisible” tape) and you lose the end because it sticks back to the roll and you have to pick at it with your fingernails to pull it up again.
Or, when Scotch Tape is used on something and you have the horrible task of trying to remove it. I’ve learned the hard way how to over come this and here is the secret …
BEHOLD: An Ordinary Roll of Scotch Tape
Take a tiny part of the end of the tape( 1 cm about?) and just bend it over and tape it to itself.
Not only does it keep the tape from re-sticking to the roll and save you from trying to pull it up again with your fingernails …
But when you use it to attach something and it still has the little “folded over” piece …
FOR EXAMPLE:
Taped a piece of paper to the fridge. (NOTE: see little fold at top of tape?)
Flick up the fold with your finger …
And just pull it off. No problems. No tape remnants left behind.
Works exactly the same with masking tape or any other kind. NEVER LOSE THE END AGAIN!
Simple, eh?
