As someone who’s had 0 years of HVAC experience, I got it done 😅

That is WAY faster! I probably would have spent 5-10 minutes doing it the regular way a nd getting frustrated at the same time. I can also see myself being able to wear gloves after peeling the first piece.

I’ve definitely cut myself with HVAC tape 😂 good call

Wrong! Don't tear the backing paper off at all, level it in tact. This way you never dig for a corner to peel back and you never worry about picking up a thousand different pieces of paper.
@MakeThyselfUsefulАй бұрын
That’s a solid idea. You can also trim it so you’re not dealing with 50’ of wax paper.

@@MakeThyselfUseful Yeah, it definitely depends on the job at hand. If you're standing still wrapping pipe it's easier to handle versus crawling in an attic that's for sure. Regardless, picking up a few larger pieces is way better than pick up a thousand small pieces.

@@WORDversesWORLD Agree. I learned very quickly how annoying it was to pick up all those small pieces of backing 😅

You pre cut the tape which means you already spent the time it would take you to cut while you are applying the tape.
@MakeThyselfUsefulАй бұрын
@@robertking7584 true, but the majority of the time spent was the peeling off of the back of the tape after cutting it. The wax backing had no easy-peel tab
