Packing tape

It may not have as many uses as duct tape, but clear packing tape comes pretty close. I always have a roll on hand even though I rarely actually use it on packages! The latest use I have found is to remove pet hair from your clothes. Simply tear off some tape and wrap it around your fingers. Now press to the fabric and pull away...voila! It takes the pet hair with it. Of course, you're lucky if you actually can get it to tear off properly, especially if you're using an off-brand. Chances are it will tear off in pieces, you'll keep having to start over and just when you have it where you want it, you'll set the roll down and it will get stuck to itself again. Good luck, you're now starting from scratch!
Other uses for clear packing tape...cheap repair for your torn vinyl seat, hanging WNNS banners at remotes and covering the mouths of talkative people (just kiddin')
