Help - vapemail emergency - packing tape - argggg!

[MsComptrtchr]

Ok, I know this is stoopid (I feel stupid), but I am putting vapemail packages together and my SCOTCH brand packing tape crapped out on me. It's only coming off half-way (vertically), so I spun it and spun it and can't get the dang thing to come off in a full piece (kinda like what happens with toilet paper sometimes). This is ridiculous! I gotta get to the PO.

What do I do? This is funny, but desperate at the same time

I don't understand. Do you mean it's separating (shiney side separating from sticky side) or it's splitting down the middle so you are only getting half the width?

Run a sharp knife through several layer's and pull them off, start over ....

Splitting down the middle (sorry, couldn't articulate, panicked, lol.) Looking for a sharp knife . . .

I used to plastic wrap for a custom butcher, happened all the time; you just have to find the ending point , get rid of it and start over

In that case I would suggest doing what daleron said.

Fixed, packages out. Thanks you guys - ECF is awesome in a fix. Can I close this thread now? Does a mod need to do it or do I?

You can't close it, only a mod can. You could PM Classwife and ask her to close it if you want.

it'll die on it's own if no one posts to it. Opps too late.

tuck a penny or a paper clip under the edge to help keep it together in the future.
