Blue Painters Tape

I was at the grocery store late at night and when I came back to my car, I noticed that there was a blue piece of painters tape ever so neatly placed on my car fuel access door. What would be the reason someone would do this? The fuel door latch works just fine and didn’t need any reinforcement. My skepticism immediately made me wonder if there could be something nefarious about it, so much so that I used gloves to remove the tape and sanitized the door. submitted by /u/p1206i to r/whatisit [link] [comments]

I bought one card and it came with the blue tape. Then another. Then another. Then it seemed like most eBay sellers use it. Why? Is it really that good or cheap? submitted by /u/ggekko12 to r/baseballcards [link] [comments]

​ I got a roll of blue painters tape from Lowe's for $6 (painters tape won't leave any residue or marks on the wall), and a pair of $2 scissors from the Walgreens near Palazzo. I taped up all the holes and seams on a box I had handy - checking it was completely sealed with no light / air gaps. Then I cut flaps along the long axis, and taped that box solidly to the wall over the sensor. I created a little sealed chamber, so the sensor could continue to test it's own air the whole time I was there, and wouldn't be able to detect any "tampering." The method worked great - zero fines at check out. This cost me $8 and about 20 minutes to make. Well worth it to me for the peace of mind. So if you don't want to walk down to the casino to vape, if you don't want to go into the bathroom or turn on the shower every time to vape, if you don't want to blow into a paper towel tube or towel like a middle-schooler - give this a shot. Hope it helps somebody! 🤙 submitted by /u/EBTlovr to r/phish [link] [comments]

USA. 2023 IONIQ5 SEL. Narrow strips of blue painter's tape about 2 inches long wrapped around the latch. My t​runk is now quiet. It may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. submitted by /u/501gator to r/Ioniq5 [link] [comments]

I had all the fabrics already, left over from a different quilt, minus a few key blues that I bought fat quarters of. I didn’t have much budget for this quilt, so it was important I mostly use what I had. I made the pattern up myself so it would be nice and easy to sew. (This is my 4th quilt. Happy to report I’m absolutely getting the hang of things. No stress!) By making the design myself i could use the colors that I wanted to their best advantage. And I learned HSTs! Very cool. I was given a tiny bit of vintage 30’s fabric from my mom, who got them from her mom - see if you can spot them. To design it, I drew a couple versions of the quilt on graph paper with colored pencils, then picked my favorite drawing and drew it a little bigger, following it like a map. I labeled my drawing with numbers and letters, and then labeled my fabrics using painters tape (not cute but practical). Started from the inside and worked outwards. A note about the binding… I decided to save time and buy 1” double fold bias tape. It was really a luxury in that it’s so easy to work with! That said, I think I prefer the end feeling /results of regular fabric. (Which I’ve got on previous quilts.) Or maybe I’d prefer a smaller bias tape next time. If you have a thought on this please share! With all the dark shit happening these days, I've found that pouring my love out in a physical, ‘make-something’ kind of way, has felt amazing. It’s for a baby who's almost here, and it’s really lifted my spirits. Like, all my hope for better days is in this quilt. This baby is going to be so loved! submitted by /u/hunnyvale to r/quilting [link] [comments]

Photos show both sides of the blade of my Worksharp RMX in CPM-3V I’m not fussy about my tools and if it’s just like this now, I’m not upset. It had blue painters tape on it for about 18 hrs. On removing the tape, I noticed the discoloration. Neither isopropyl alcohol nor acetone takes it off. Curious if anyone has seen this, and is there a remedy? Thanks! submitted by /u/SimpleAffect7573 to r/EDC [link] [comments]

Like, does it have to be green frog tape or can I use blue 3m? submitted by /u/ctznsmith to r/synthesizercirclejerk [link] [comments]

I tried to paint a wall in my office and I tapped it off with painters blue tape and I thought I sealed it right…but as you can see I didn’t… any pointers? Ah I feel so stupid submitted by /u/justanothersomeone76 to r/handyman [link] [comments]

Nice to see that even a few thousand years in the future that stuff is still held together with zip ties and blue painters tape... by the clans no less... submitted by /u/Boring_Expression459 to r/Mechwarrior5 [link] [comments]

Just having some trouble removing my prints from my a1 mini build plate. I've been spritzing my plate with alcohol and water and tossing it into the freezer for an hour and it still gives me some trouble. Is there any reason I shouldn't put some tape down on it for easier removal? submitted by /u/Mockingasp to r/BambuLabA1 [link] [comments]

AKA r/tools - you have created a monster. I’m fully aware that these tools are, by and large, better than my skills. Yes, many are quite new looking. Shoot me. I clean my tools. And I’m not a pro. Actually, I’m not even a handyman’s areshole. But fuck it. I decided a few years back to stop buying shitty tools when I needed something specific. I discovered Reddit around the same time. To be honest, you fuckers helped create this. However, this bag has everything I need to get shit done around the house and then some. The bag is the Toughbuilt Medium Tool Tote. I know there’s lots of speculation about the company, but the gear fucking rocks. And is well priced. This tote is solid AF. Gear Knipex 180mm Pliers Wrench. Easily the best size for this beauty. I love it. 200mm Cobra. Ditto Twin Grips. Fuck these are useful given I only got them cos they look cool. Grabbier than my uncle after 6 scotch and drys. 200mm combo pliers. Not Linesman. These are better. Come at me. 185mm Needle nose pliers Weird small 145mm useful needle nose pliers with a cutout for holding nails because I am kinda uncoordinated. 160mm needle nose pliers for, like, small places. My daughter who is crafty loves these, actually. Flush cutters. So I don't hurt my delicate hands on those nasty cable ties Diagonal cutters. Note - Aussies are not allowed to play with electricity unless licences. The VDE gear is largely because I got them on special and the handles are actually awesome. I ‘definitely’ wouldn’t move a wall outlet all by myself. Wera Philips 2. Obvs VDE Philips 1 and 3.5mm flat - see above for VDE notes. Tool Check Plus. So fucking useful. 1/4” Zyklop. Not nearly as useful. But 11/10 coolness factor. No regrets. Metric Allen Keys. We don't need Imperial. Except when we do. Then I'm shit outta luck, frankly Stubby Ratchet. For screwing in small places. Oh to be young again Vessel Chisel Driver. This sucker is amazing. Literally a screwdriver with though tang and striking plate that is actually a chisel. Like, $20. Go buy one. Philips ball end ratchet. I probably grab this the most. Cheap. Useful. Great tip. Actually super annoying switch positioning, but I forgive it. 6mm flat head. I prefer this to the Wera flat head because it feels more… pryable. You know what I mean. PB Swiss Ratcheting screwdriver. Yeah. I watched all the reviews on You Tube. I spent too much money. I don’t use it a lot. But when I do I feel like if Thor would if he had a screwdriver not a hammer. Pick Set. Replaced a $5 eBay set without being any more functional. However, sexy AF. Actually, one of the picks has a two way bend and is actually amazingly useful. This is hands down my most pointless tool purchase. I love them. Mini Empire Speed Square. Small enought for the bag. Not big enough to be useful. Pico Pencils. I have two because I bought the 0.9mm first, literally not realising they were not the ones everyone raves about. The 3030 is the GOAT. I have spare leads as well Temu pointy texter - it has a long skinny point perfect for marking screw holes. I stole this from my boss. Eraser. My crafty daughter? ‘Borrowed’ this from her. Sharpie. Classic. Lufkin Nite Eye 8m tape measure. Best ever. Not gonna argue with the Fat Boy freaks. Milwaukee utility knife. As much as I’m Dewalt and Makita - Milwaukee nailed this one. It’s almost an iconic design by now. Stabila Torpedo Level. Sola are better, when you are old and your eyes are fucked. But the form factor of this is perfect for fitting in the bag. And it is expensive enough to satisfy. 4140 pry bar - this is a cheapie, not the ARES. Even I have limits apparently. Teensy Vaughan Pry Bar. 6”, I think. Whatever the fuck an inch is. Handy. Compact. Apparently still made in the USA. Whatever. I like the colour. Purdy 6 in 1 painters tool. This fucker was $12 even in Australia (we get raped, price wise) and is amazing. Second most used tool after the Milwaukee utility knife. Full tang and strike plate FTMFW. UNI-T Multimeter. Not that I use this. As Aussies are not allowed to play with electricity. Really good quality for the price though. Franklin Stud Finder. I use the fuck outta this and wish I bought a decent model decades ago. It also always confirms that I am a stud which is useful. Klein folding jab saw. Really handy. Way too chunky for my little hands though. Not as much fun as a multitool Wiss Utility Shears. Really great cutters, hate the handles. Wiss 10” scissors. Great blades, great ergonomics too. Mumme 225g Cross Pein Hammer. Hey. I needed a tiny hammer to fit the bag. Also, I’m a klutz. Mumme is an Aussie brand that even Aussies have never heard of. Again, nice shade of blue though. Whats the point of a hammer if it’s not pretty? Irwin Auto Wire Strippers. These are ok. I don’t do electrical stuff though, obvs Convoy Right Angle Flashlight. Great work light - Nichia 519a 5k LED for perfect colour rendition. For when I’m not looking a different coloured electrical cables. Check out r/flashlight if that makes no sense. Be prepared to lose several days if you do. SOFIRN S21 Headlamp. Rotate the light to change from spot to flood to both. Makes me feel like a nerdy Cyberman. According to my wife it also makes look as sexy as a dead hedgehog. WD40. Smells great. Also lubes shit. Fuck you lube deniers. 3 in 1 oil. Useful, apparently. I've never used it. Duct tape, teflon tape, electrical tape. Also Super Glue for when I need to fasten my fingertips to each other.. Small plastic case of fasteners. Which are always either too long, too short or the wrong gauge. Reusable cable ties. Well, fuck. Seriously the third most useful thing i discovered on this here subreddit! Riggers gloves. Worn when I need to feel more manly. Which is most of the time. Don't judge. Dewalt Impact driver. Tiny little poweful ugga dugga beast. I seriously laugh when I see people scoff at this becuase it’s Atomic branded in some markets. This little beast will drive screws through anything. I'm literally afraid to use speed 3 - pretty sure you need some kind of trade certification first. Long Vessel PH2 bit, centre punch (Rennsteig cos it’s German and I am a wanker, obvs), nail punch. So yeah. It weighs a shit ton but makes me feel like a DIY god. Every single time I hang something on the wall. Flame away. I can take it. submitted by /u/rhymeswithoranj to r/Tools [link] [comments]

Blue disc games not playing well, or making your PlayStation grind loudly? Stack two strips of masking tape and place on each side of the disc hole (for a total of 4 strips). It will add just enough mass to push the disc down and fix playability issues! submitted by /u/dietdrkelp329 to r/ps2 [link] [comments]

I live in metro Atlanta in a condo community. I travel frequently and sometimes my car (BMW convertible) sits for days or occasionally even weeks at a time. I have a car cover that goes over it with locks (mostly so it doesn't shift or fly away in bad weather or get stolen) when I know I'll be away for longer than a few days. For the last few months I've been occasionally coming out to my car to find a piece of blue painters tape on my gas cap. Sometimes it's after I've driven it the day prior and didn't put the cover on it, other times its done underneath the cover and could have been done at any time in the days or weeks prior. Not every car in my complex is having thr same problem, but I know of at least one or two that have also found it on their cars, one being a Ford Explorer, the other being a Nissan Rogue, both of which are daily drivers for their owners and move around frequently. This has happened seemingly at random a 1-3 times a month for the last few months. We have had no thefts or break ins, no gas siphoning, no suspicious activity at all, and there doesn't seem to be any discernable pattern to when it's happening or why. I feel like if they were marking it for theft, then they would have just done it by now, but maybe it's a long game? Has anyone ever experienced this before? Any clues as to what's going on? I'm to the point of just leaving a note next time I leave on a long trip that says, "If you're trying to tell me something, I'm not getting the message. Please use your words." Or at least something to that effect because it's getting a bit maddening not knowing why the hell they're doing it. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/northxsparrow to r/cars [link] [comments]
