"Flat Twine" Handy For Household Chores

"Flat Twine" Handy For Household Chores FARM HOME Miscellaneous 23-3-40 "It ties tighter and quicker than conventional twine or tape and has endless applications," says the manufacturer of this "flat" twine. The hand-held roll of tape-like material requires no knots or tying so you can apply it with one hand. It sticks only to itself so it won't mar surfaces or leave sticky adhesive residue. It's ideal around the home for bundling recycled newspapers, magazines and cardboard boxes and for wrapping anything for storage. It's also handy around the shop as a portable vise to hold glued objects together while drying and to bundle extension cords, hoses, tubes or tools. It has plenty of yard and garden applications such as staking woody plants for growth or grafting. Because it stretches to 300 percent, it "grows" with plants to prevent scarring. Comes in 2-in. thick rolls of 178 and 650 ft. Sells for $4.99 and $9.99 including handle, respectively. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Nifty Products, P.O.
