I will gladly send what remains of this stuff to any one, and please remember woolie rams are not designed to wrap parcels, we need both arms and legs to do the job.

Have you checked your fleece to see how much tape is stuck to you?

On paper? I'd use 1 micron of tape
In Life? I'd be trapped under a sticky mass of tape and be found dead when I started to decompose in a serious way.
