Who invented scotch tape?
Richard G. Drew, who had developed masking tape in 1926, took the idea a step further, and on May 27, 1930, he and his employers at the 3M Company received a patent for cellophane - aka scotch - tape. 3M's main product before that was sandpaper. Drew was delivering sandpaper to auto manufacturers, and saw that they were having trouble keeping a neat line between the colors on two-toned cars. He came up with an adhesive tape that would lift easily off the car, without lifting the paint at the same time. When he then invented the transparent cellophane tape, it became a consumer favorite.

What is the correct way to apply Teflon tape to a threaded piece of steel pipe?
First, make sure the pipe threads are clean and in good condition. Hold the end of the tape flat against the pipe threads, flush with the end of the pipe, then turn the pipe clockwise, or as though you were tightening it. Put 1-1/2 to 2 turns of tape on the pipe, keeping the tape flat and tight against the pipe as you turn, then thread the pipe immediately into the fitting. The reason for doing it this way is so the loose end gets pinned down by the action of screwing the pipe in, rather than getting flipped up.
