Masking Tape


Have you ever tried to pull off a strip of masking tape and it splits down the middle?  This is so aggravating!  I was packing up some things today...Yes, we are moving.  YAY...I think.  It is amazing how much "junk" you can accumulate in a short amount of time.  Anyway...I was trying to tape the boxes and the tape kept splitting down the middle and coming off in little pieces.  I am not really sure what made me think of this, but I stuck it in the microwave for about 10 seconds and  it worked GREAT!  The tape came off in whole, long pieces.  I had to put it back in the microwave every now and then when it began splitting again.  I know masking tape is not that expense, but in this day and time, every penny counts.  Around our house anyway.  Give it a try!

  1. I never would have thought to do that. What a great idea. I have a blog on blogger for a couple pf years now and I just realized that you could look up blogs by town. How great is that? Anyway I am originally from Oakboro and I wanted to see if anyone I new has a blog, of course they don't. I saw your blog and thought I would check it out. Its pretty good. You also do a great job on your work. Have a great day :0)
