Many of the project are built using duct tape "sheets". This concept of sheets is taken from the book Ductigami: The Art of the Tape by Joe Wilson.
9 Steps to a Sheet of Duct Tape
- Cut a strip of tape slightly longer than the width of the sheet and place it on the cutting board sticky side up.
- Cut another strip of tape and place it sticky side down half way on the first strip.
- Fold the sticky side over the silver side.
- "Grip, Rip and Flip": Rip the duct tape off the cutting
board and flip over.
- Add a third strip sticky side down to overlap the sticky
side of the first two strips.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have the length of sheet that you want.
- Grip, Rip and Flip.
- Fold over the last strip of tape for a clean finish.
- Trim the sheet to size if necessary.
Good Edges
In some of the projects I will mention good edges. These are the edges that have been folded over. In other words, the edges that have not been cut.
Usually they are the top and bottom edges when making a sheet.
