That's not a disappointment, that's an insight.

I'll bet you use scissors, too. I saw the uniformity and the black-with-light-border design, and, well, things said half in jest are said half in truth, and I wouldn't have been surprised to hear A) that some outfit in Detroit manufactures sticky-end tufts for this very purpose, and B) that you'd hunted them down.

A clever blend of technologies there; electricians' tape to hold onto the yarn, painters' tape to hold onto the car. I'll try that.

Artists talk about cheap turpentine, ecomodders talk about sticking yarn to their cars. Thanks for the help.
