I have tried most all of the tapes (much cheaper through surplus) and have
switched to hot glue for almost all work. The hot glue (Ethylene vinyl
acetate copolymer) works especially well for sticking labels to walls. It
leaves no residue and peels like a banana. I also use it to construct
archival boxes. The burns Ive recieved only cut down on my typing speed..
Has anyone else used or have experience-good or bad- with hot glues?
