portable tape

This instructable is for people who can't leave home without duct tape and are tired of the bulk.

Step 1: Gather Materials

You will need; a junk credit card (or similar sized piece of plastic), duct tape, a permanent marker, a ruler, scissors, a place to hold tape (pocket will do but altoids taste better) and a brain.

This may sound too easy and even trivial, but why not JUST use the duct tape on it's self (flatten a piece on itself), that way it won't be any bulkier, you can use every piece of it, it can be made to size for the job or the weight you want.... Sounds so good I want to give it a go.

Just seems like you can make it more portable by not adding unnecessary bulk. my2cents

duct tape is universal. you can literally use it for everything. for all we know, the edges of the universe are being held together with duct tape.

i saw this awesome shirt that said, "Duct tape is like the force, it has two sides, one light and one dark, and it holds the universe together."

[daltonjcw]

[Father Christmas]

[foxtrot4697]

Just to be a pain...an extra idea using some card or something that can be cut but is quite think i would make the side a little thicker and therefore stronger... (Y)

yah, this one camping article said wrap it around a cut to size pen tube, and then put it in a film canister, or just keep wrapping it. good instructable though

[- creative name -]

that sounds like a better idea. but both are equally good.

[foxtrot4697]

yeh it works good, and my lil sis is talking in her sleep lol random

[Derin]

maybe you could make a wheel to wrap duct tapeand a hole on the side as exit then when you need it pull and use the sharp edge to cut

[Sheamus]

not bad but i still like the instructable on flattening the duct tape better found them both because when i'm bored, i search "duct tape" on here lol

[Codester93]

Very nice instrucable. Useful and easy

My town's video store gave me 2 cards when I signed up. They are both in my wallet, but one's a 'flat pack'!

[zsfrack]

Great instrutable, you can also add electric tape(if you need) and paint the card so is more "cool"

[adidame]

Pfft, no one uses film anymore; I use my Nalgene bottle.

[mrmath]

Your->Something belonging to you You're->You are done Pet Peeve. Have to put it in there.

[hay_jumper]
