Okay Newton, here's the problem. Sooner or later, one runs out of the brown "lick & stick" tape, even though they originally bought a lifetime supply (one roll). So, either I was short-rolled or have lived too long -- don't know which. The only replacement I've been able to find is where someone has already licked it for me. My pursuits have included Wally World, paint store, and office supply. The "help" that is old enough to remember "me-lick, me-stick" wonders why I don't want the modern stuff. I'm running out of places, so... - will the pre-licked stuff work? - is there a 'Common Brown Lick & Stick Packaging Tape store' that I perhaps don't have in my town? (It wouldn't surprise me at all)! I'd particularly like to explore some of the "nefarious activity" characteristics of this tape, since I obviously neglected to try this with the original roll.
