it's flagging tape season . I needed a new roll of flagging tape , and I thought I'd pass along a tip for keeping a roll of flagging tape from unwinding . I clamp a nail in my vice . heat it up with a propane torch until it's plenty hot . press the roll of tape against the hot nail . I've been melting two places , and this seems about right . one melt the roll still push apart . 4 melts seemed excessive when unwinding . next time I do this , I think I'll used a coat hanger wire , it'll be a little narrower .
