The front of the #FlipPhone, using green #mavalus tape to match the original tape label the family had placed on it.

Before my friend left, we also discussed colour. The current tape system was done with garden-variety green #MaskingTape.

We didn't want to risk supergluing anything just in case the elder still couldn't (or just as bad, *wouldn't*) use the modified phone.

Thankfully I've got a small selection of #Mavalus tape from #EducationStation, including green.

Random #recommendation for a great all-purpose #tape: #Mavalus.

It's NOT cheap and rolls are tiny, but it's great for all sorts of projects as it will stick to nearly anything (NOT skin!) and doesn't damage surfaces when removed (exception: paper).

At home I use it probably most often for tacking things down to make precise measurements or cuts because it can usually stick and re-stick several times before becoming useless.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Bring tape, too! Masking tape is easiest to find but Mavalus tape is strong, tears like masking tape, sticks to almost anything, and doesn't damage surfaces (and comes in various colours if that is important to you 😀). I use #tape to secure wonky outlets (sadly common in #Alberta motels 😬) and/or the extension cord itself for my CPAP.
