The Lost Cord

A place where tape IS important!



ART supply stores (and some paint supply stores) sell "Artist's Tape", which looks like standard masking tape, except for 3 important differences:



1. It's pure white.

2. It's smooth.

3. It won't leave a sticky residue.

I use an omni, but a cardioid should work almost as well.
