Next time you're at Lowe's or The Home Depot: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...1029-133-41029 Well -- Why would I buy a 70 cent roll of tape when I have a 16 dollar roll??? Mine MUST be better. We were underway; and didn't want to abandon our trip to go home.... If I had been home, there was a couple of rolls in the trunk of the car.... But I'd have spent that much in fuel to go home to get it... |
