Tear Off the Tape at an Angle to Leave a Tab for Easy Access Next Time
Every time you tear off a piece of tape from a roll, you are left with an eternal puzzle – peel it off the next time. Instead, roll the tape to the side and tear it off to leave the tab for easy access later.
This tip is taken from The Black and Blue Movie Tips Site. When you need to mark spots for actors all day, you don’t have to constantly fiddle with the tape. The technique shown in the video above allows you to quickly and easily rip off multiple pieces of tape in a row, while always leaving a ridge to grab onto the next time you need a piece. Although you lose a very tiny piece of tape every time, you can weigh that over the time (and probably extra tape) that you save as you don’t have to fiddle with picking at the end of the roll with your nails.
