travel tape

[harvey]

Good idea, Rob, but it didn't work for me. I had been looking for an excuse
to purchase a paper shredder for a while, and the idea of also making
travel paper became the catalyst I needed. By the time I finally found a
source for the gummed tape, I had already found a good deal on a
shredder... and used it a lot. (Ever noticed how our paperless society has
generated even more paper?) Unfortunately, my shredder, and, as I
subsequently discovered, most of the reasonably priced (non-commercial)
shredders yield 1/4 inch strips. Also, some of them leave a fine edge in
the cutting process, similar to the edge of a serrated steak knife. I'm not
sure what the end results of this would be on travel tape... maybe nothing.

Anyway, by the time I discovered this, I was already sold on the idea of
the shredder for its intended purpose.
