Reddit mentions: The best office tape

First class mail package/thick envelope works absolutely fine with 4x8 bubble mailers. It costs about $2.67 if you purchase the postage through eBay, and you get the added bonus of free tracking and delivery confirmation. When you're shipping more valuable cards, you might want to spring for insurance (pay out of your own pocket if the buyer didn't request it specifically). It's pretty cheap and is a good way to play it safe.

 
Here's the method I've used for shipping hundreds of cards on eBay, with absolutely no problems whatsoever. You'll need the following supplies:

 
#000 4x8 Bubble Mailer
Penny sleeve
Toploader
Team bag
Scotch tape
Packing tape

 

1. Place the card you want to ship upside down in the penny sleeve, then fold the excess bit of plastic back up from the open end of the sleeve. This will keep the card from sliding out of the penny sleeve.
    
   
   
2. Slide the penny-sleeved card into the toploader, starting with the folded end of the penny sleeve. Be sure to keep the penny sleeve folded while you do this. It might be a bit tricky to get the card into the toploader, but it won't fall out of the penny sleeve once you do.
    
   
   
3. Tap the bottom of the toploader against a hard surface a couple times if need be to make sure the card is all the way inside and level. Then, tape a piece of scotch tape and tape up the open end of the toploader. Make sure to use a bit longer piece of tape than you need, and fold on end over itself to make a tab on one side of the toploader. This will ensure that the card won't fall out of the toploader during shipping while making it easier for your buyer to get the card out.
    
   
   
4. Place top toploader inside a team bag and seal it. In the event that your bubble mailer gets wet, this should ensure the card remains undamaged.
    
   
   
5. Print out the order invoice, fold it up, and place it inside the bubble mailer along with the toploader. Seal the bubble mailer, then place a piece of packing tape over the flap of the bubble mailer to ensure it stays shut.
    
   
   
6. Print out your postage. You can use a regular piece of printer paper if need be, but I'd definitely recommend going with an adhesive address label. Better yet, if you'll be shipping in volume I'd recommend getting a thermal printer (I've got a Dymo LabelWriter 4XL that's awesome), because then you don't have to worry about smudging, even if the address label gets damp.
    
   
   
7. Apply the postage to the outside of the bubble mailer. If you're using regular printer paper, be sure to tape all edges with packing tape to ensure it stays in place. Then place a piece of packing tape over the addresses. Again, this step is unnecessary if you invest in a thermal printer.
    
   
   Hope this information helps anyone looking for a worry-free way to ship cards!

Fellow Title 1 teacher in MN. I find that preemptively taping book covers REALLY helps a lot. I used to tape the entire cover with scotch tape - which took forever. Then I used packing tape or book tape which also took a long time. Now, I tend to just tape the spine and the sides of the book and they are doing alright. Not nearly as great as fully-taped, but better than nothing. Gorilla glue is a lifesaver for repairing the spines- just be sure you put a binder clip over the spine since it tends to expand as it dries.

​

Taping made my first set of amulet books last around 3 years, if that gives you a general idea of efficacy.

​

Lastly, if you get used books, I highly recommend ones that were at a library since they already have the clear plastic library stuff on them.

>If I place the dust everywhere, should I try to refrain from vacuuming? Or just reapply after vacuuming?

I'd vacuum, then apply, then re-apply after any future vacuuming.

>Can you possibly link me to the pump/sprayer?

Here's 2 options, we used this one ourselves, but this one seems to be promoted by Amazon right now. Looking at that yellow one... eh, I'd personally recommend going with the first one. THe extra $6 is worth it for higher quality.

>How much is needed for a ~800 sq. Ft. Apartment?

Per their Amazon link, 2 ounces covers 100 ft^2, large bottles are 4 ounce, so you'd want 4 large bottles

Oh, and as a safety given the high chance other apartments are infested, you probably want this XFasten double sided tape, you will want to make squares around every power/cable/telephone/airvent/etc. outlet, and a large square above your bed, slightly larger than your bed. Yes, they are known to crawl along the ceiling then drop down onto beds.

So far the examples with scotch tape have looked pretty good. I'm tempted to do it, but I'm not entirely sure the tape comes in the size of the screen.

Edit: just looked at the matte screen protector. WOW. That looks really tempting.

Edit 2: damn, that example is also scotch tape. I'm gonna start researching giant rolls of scotch tape.

Edit 3: http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Book-Inches-Yards-845/dp/B00006IF5R/
This stuff might do the trick. Comes in 4" width, so I can try a strip on each eye. That should cover the entire screen. If it's the same structure as the regular scotch tape, it should look pretty good.

I know people have answered with the thing you wanted, but if you want a cheap and easy solution for keeping track of base power in in the meantime, dry erase tape affixed to some card stock or cardboard, and a marker.

https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Erase-White-1-88-Inch-5-Yard/dp/B00NBL3YR6

It's about the same amount of effort to erase and re-write the power as it is to click through the numbers; it is admittedly much less cool looking.

Get Cloth Book Binding Repair Tape, it comes in 15 yard rolls for like 20 Bucks, you can get it in any color to match your book. Easy to use and if you have a nice printer you can print spines on it before using it after you cut to length what you need.

3 inch should be enough for your book.
Hope this helps

I have a 44 page comic that I bound by printing it on 8.5x11 in sheets (not as a booklet) and stapled alongside the left edge of the stack, then I covered the staples with some book binding tape. It's a bit more work than a zine usually takes but it gives a nice result! I got a lot of compliments on the binding when I first made the book.

I don’t have a full kegerator, but I did get one of the Hopsy keg systems. I was trying to find a good way to make a label, and I found a roll of dry erase tape . Works a charm.

This scotch tape would be amazing because I use tape for everything. Literally everything.

I went to a cat show today. It was magical. So many cute cats, I couldn't even stand it.

Make sure to use acid-free tape if you want the poster to last a really long time. If the tape isn't acid-free it'll eventually yellow and eat the edges of the poster.

I do this on book dust jackets, which always seem to get kind of frayed and tattered around the edges otherwise on frequently used books (particularly kids' books). For that I use acid-free book tape, which is also great for repairing books, or reinforcing spines of kids' books.

Glue. Yes, there is clothes glue. Well, tape actually: Hollywood Fashion Secrets Medical Quality Double-Stick Apparel Tape, 3 tins x 36 strips Value Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AR4BLWA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6DPCAbWDY3BHR

You're right i'm waaaaaay off my estimated price, it's about half the price i thought it would be.


I'm sorry dude I just gave my opinion on how to easily improve the aesthetic of your setup but you clearly don't really care about it, then again why post on this sub reddit then ?

Shower board from a hardware store makes a good, cheap whiteboard for those 2 A.M. sessions. Otherwise I hear they sell whiteboard tape and you can apply it to anything.

Something I found useful as I got farther into math and science. YMMV.

I'm also pretty particular about my books, so I think I understand your friend. If ever you feel like your paperbacks are falling apart at the spine, use [book binding tape.] (http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Book-Inches-Yards-845/dp/B00006IF5R) You won't ever have to worry about creasing the spine again!

Yes. It is tape that acts like a dry erase whiteboard. There is also chalkboard tape.

Yeah!

For those interested, I found these awhile back when I had a similar idea:

This non-adhesive tape will help keep your cards together without needing a bulky deck box, and often keep the cards in the original box (sleeved or not). Plus, three rolls of it are way cheaper than the deck box that you linked to.

If you go to an art supply store, they have special paper tape that you can use - it is virtually invisible and will bring those pages back together. Sample here:

Or you can buy neutral pH Glue and glue the pages together at the spine very carefully. Should also be available at an art supply store (specialty ones) Product here:

I️ used liquid electric tape and something similar to blue tac (it’s a putty) around the edges and connectors. But tbh it was messy and hard, I️ would use silicone next time.

I️ had one instance when it got wet and I️ couldn’t turn the board off.

I did this the other day to my refrigerator, except instead of paint I used Dry Erase Tape.

I put a strip by the front door so I can leave my roommates and self reminders when I walk out the door like "Pick up TP."

As an alternative, there's also fashion tape like this that will hold up socks, though you'd probably have to use several per leg

Start with one layer and add more until desired effect.

If you're careful when you remove them you can re-use the existing double sided tape. When you go to disassemble the laptop, try to get the feet off with a razor blade by getting as close to the base of the laptop shell as possible. You should see the feet come off with the tape still attached as one piece, as long as you don't crease the feet or get a lot of dirt on the adhesive you should be fine to reuse them. Otherwise, if the adhesive doesn't work out, just buy standard double sided tape and cut it to size, then thoroughly clean off the old tape from both the shell and the feet before applying the new tape.

How big is a roll? There's 1/2 x 450 inch, 3/4 x 1000 inch, 3/4 x 300 inch and probably a lot more.

Surface area of the earth is 196.9 million square miles. That's 7.9 x 10^17 square inches.

If we use the first roll, each roll has 225 square inches. We'd need 3.5 x 10^15 rolls.
If we use the second roll, each one has 750 square inches. We'd need 1 x 10^15 rolls.
The third roll also has 225 square inches, so it'd be the same as the first

White velcro.

Velcro dots work brilliantly

I'll assume that ball is 10cm diameter, so its
radius=5cm
volume=524 cm^3
a penny is 3% copper (density 8,96 g/cm^3 )
and 97% zinc (density 7,14 g/cm^3 )
so total weight is 524cm^3 (8,96 g/cm^3 3% + 7,14 g/cm^3 97%) = 3770g

(it has to be less than that ofc because that ball is not homogeneous)

EDIT: /u/s1th_lord and others asked about the tape. This pack of 32 1200in rolls of tape totals 30480in = 975.36m and weighs 1.63lb = 740g. I'll assume there are 100g of spool etc so 640g of "pure" tape.

It seems OP used tape over every coin, and a penny is 19,05mm diameter, so 1000 pennies = 19,05m of tape.

The weight of tape used then = 19,05m 640 g / 975.36m = 12 grams.

Dry Erase Tape for things you need to erase on your character sheet. My entire crew uses it for HP and we just pass around a wet/dry erase marker.

I second this. Make sure your skin is dry when you put it on and it'll stay all day: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AR4BLWA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I've always used the Hollywood Fashion Tape or, because sometimes I just really need it to hold, duct tape or skin-safe sports tape. Duct tape isn't exactly skin safe for long wear, but it gets the job done.
