72 TA : New Project

[StriperSS]

I've been using 3M products for 31 years now, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that they never leave well enough alone. You find a product that works well and get used to using it. The next time you buy a can of it, you find that it doesn't work as well as the previous batch, because they've re-formulated it. I've had that problem with their Wax and Grease remover a few times, and now just lately their automotive grade green masking tape. It's pretty frustrating, because they'll never admit there's any problems with their products, but eventually it'll go back to the way it was.

Many, many thanks to Mr70 who sent me a pristine white 8-track housing along with the original cardboard wrapper.

Here is the finished product. I ended up printing the label on a large piece of 8-1/2 by 11 photo paper. I then cut it out and used spray adhesive (the kind designed for mounting photos in scrap books) on the back of the photo and the sides of the tape. It stuck perfectly and the photo paper gloss matches the original label perfectly. Thanks to all who helped during this chapter of the ongoing novel, especially Mr70!


P.S. I am still trying to figure out why the lady in the photo is sitting on a green bench seat in the middle of a tropical rain forest. Where the heck is the rest of the car? or is this some clue to the next episode of "Lost?"
