kemahiran hidup: pita

 hai peepz. its been a while since i posted something useful or worth to read kan? kinda bz.
ok for this entry im going to post about tapes. ye, pita. pita2 pelekat yg komersial yg kita selalu pakai. ramai antara kita xtahu nama2 pita ni.
so im going to tell you all just that.


here he have several tapes. sellotape family, masking tape, the popular all time favourite duct tape, wiring tape, artistic paper tape and the less known ptfe tape.


for sellotapes they have a few types which is

regular celotape
this is the regular celotape. pepople just call it celotape. good for almost anything and any surface.

clear tape
same thing as sellotape except that it is much clearer like plastic or glass. however this tape's adhesive is a little weaker than regular celotape. thats the down side. the bright side is when you stick something, let say a compsition made from butter paper and tracing paper and you wanted to photocopy it, it minimises the visibility of the tape to the product.

packaging tape
same thing as sellotape but much stronger. used to sealed box and pacakaging. once in contact with the box surface, it cannot be pulled. it will rip of the surface.

masking tape - ada org ckp ni tape kertas
this little guy is often used in art or working purposes. unlike the celotape, once applied on paper, it can be peeled off  in gentle manner. the best thing that you dont need knife or scissor to cut it. just rip it. art student used it to stick their drawing on the drawing boards, table, presentation boards, or stick bill or notices on the wall. for archy students, masking tape is widely used in almost every aspect, such as repairing broken spectacles, fix chairs, covering ripped jeans, fixing flip flops, joining to pencil/or pen or eraser to each other and so much more. almost everything. haha. archy student can relate.

duct tape
well for this popular guy almost everybody knows it. i dont think i need to elaborate more on this. as they say if it cannot be fixed by duct tape, its is either unfixable or did not use adequate duct tape

wiring tape
this tape is one convenient material. as it names it's use is to wrapped, hold together and protect wiring connection. the beauty of this tape is that it is flexbile. it can flex, stretch to the user preferances and according to the object profile. also can be rip without using sharp objects.

paper tape
this tape is for art purpose. usually used to make papier-mâché as a substitute for paper. just dip those in a water and place on the mould with adhesieve side on the mould and let it dry. easy. no need messy pva glue and messy hand. once dry it is hard and take the shape of the mould just like standard papier-mâché. cool huh?

ptfe tape
its a tape for piping. used it on joints to avoid leakage. its not that adhesive but its waterproof. like wiring tape, can be flex and stretched, can be rip easily.

you there you have it!
