Mystery Ink #14

[migo984]

I use standard electrical tape to seal my bottles for posting. Always works well, peals off easily, is widely available and is very inexpensive.

Unless you get certain liquids on the electrical tape.
Most automotive fluids will turn the adhesive into a nasty, dark, gooey mess.
Heat above its rating will also turn the adhesive into tar. Hell, if you leave it on something long enough, you get tar.

None of those fates have ever befallen any of the ink bottles I’ve shipped. The tape is only on for a matter of a few days & I stopped shipping automotive fluids with my inks a few months ago. I also no longer put them in my oven to cook before posting

Because of work, I now handle all electrical tape removals with gloves on!

I’ve not had any problems during the over 10 years I’ve been shipping with such tape, but thanks for the advice.

I loved the way that Scooby's silicone rubber tape rolled off in a complete ring and left no mess. Thanks Scooby, I'm going to try some.
