IN HIS workshop on Eel Pie Island near Twickenham, glimmering with light from the Thames outside, Trevor Baylis kept wrenches, pliers, cables, hammers, gear-wheels, lengths of piping, light bulbs, massed coat-hangers, tubs of washers, wing-nuts, screws and nails, books, chisels, old St Julien tobacco tins full of bits and bobs, saws, hacksaws, cross-saws, balls of string, a splendid metal lathe which neighbours would pop in to use, sheets of foil dropped in the war by German bombers, all his dead domestic appliances (for disassembly and cannabilisation), and last but not least his boyhood Meccano sets, their instructions held together with yellowing Sellotape, out of which he would still make little clockwork vehicles that buzzed along the worktops in a determined way.

Sellotape () is a British brand of transparent, polypropylene-based, pressure- sensitive tape, and is the leading brand in the United Kingdom. Sellotape is generally used for joining, sealing, attaching and mending. In much the same way that Scotch Tape came to be used in Canada and the United States when referring to any brand of clear adhesive tape, Sellotape has become a genericised trademark in Britain and a number of other countries where it is sold. Sellotape continued to be made in Borehamwood until the late 1960s/early 1970s.

The range of tapes available in the 1950s and 1960s was immense compared with what is available now on the retail market, including RBT (reinforced banding tape), metallic tapes and a tape used for repairing PCBs; E.S. & A. Robinson were originally a packaging and paper products manufacturing company. In the 1960s, a small group of Wallington based chemists led by a man named Alan Robinson undertook a development of the stickiness in this product, and from the 1960s to 1980s, the Sellotape company was part of Dickinson Robinson Group, a British packaging and paper conglomerate. Sellotape Industrial was bought by Scapa Group plc in 1997, and their products continue to be manufactured at its factory in Dunstable. The Sellotape company was bought by Henkel Consumer Adhesives in 2002.

Sellotape was originally manufactured in 1937 by Colin Kinninmonth and George Grey, in Acton, west London. The name was derived from cellophane, at that time a trademarked name, with the "C" changed to "S" so the new name could be trademarked. Sellotape was made at a factory in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire from 1930 to about 1950 when it moved to Welwyn Garden City or thereabouts. One of the factory designers was E.F. Peat, an architect working for E.S. & A. Robinson of Redcliffe Street in Bristol, who was ultimately given the job of factory manager.

"Pencils in the Wind"Lyrics for Folk The World Tour album What The Folk! websiteTrack listing of Folk The World Tour album SmokeCDs (also known as "Sellotape") is a heartfelt ode to the similarities between love and adhesive tape -- generically referred to as Sellotape in many countries including New Zealand. It begins with Bret and Jemaine singing separately and in different locations -- using split screen -- and ends with most of the cast (Coco, Mel and Dave) and a large chorus of extras singing together in a night-time street scene, and concludes with Bret and Jemaine rising from the ground, in a similar manner to the end of Grease and the music video for "It's Oh So Quiet" by Björk. The long coda, with scat singing, is of a similar style to Hey Jude.

Simon Kiselicki was born on 25 October 1974 in Skopje, Macedonia (then Yugoslavia). At a young age his parents bought him a melodica which he constantly played, but was fed up of having to blow through the mouthpiece to receive a note. His solution was to sellotape a hairdryer to the mouthpiece so that the sound could be achieved without pauses, and ended up burning the melodica. His parents realised that Simon was better off learning the piano.

The father of Australian track cyclist Kaarle McCulloch visited his daughter at the Olympic village.

Greenwood described it as "very old school electronica: no computers, just analogue synths, tape machines, and sellotape." Yorke felt the song was "the most explicit protest song on the record ... I feel really strongly that it's about the rise of fascism, and the rise of intolerance and bigotry and fear, and all the things that keep a population down." "There There" is a guitar-led rock song with layered percussion building to a loud climax. It was influenced by krautrock band Can, Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Pixies.

The game, to be developed through their company Sellotape (סלוטייפ) was entitled Piposh 2.5 and the Stolen Vase. The official website of the project wrote that while the developers were unable to reach the quality level of the official games, they hoped to emulate it as much as possible. Their aim was to "remember, save, and enjoy" the Piposh series. The plot, taking place immediately after Piposh 2, saw the protagonist try to find the magic 'vase of life' that can be used to resurrect characters that died in the prequel.

It would be nice to see them return in a big way in a potential sequel, but for now hardcore LBP fans should have enough creation options to last them until that point." Chris Schilling from Eurogamer scored the game a 7/10. He praised the game's new additions and improvements, as well as the create mode tutorials, but heavily criticized the presence of technical issues, saying he thought they dragged down the game. Schilling summed up the review by stating: "Held together by Sellotape rather than superglue, LittleBigPlanet 3 is in constant danger of falling apart.

Eddie responds that Richie was going to the rental shop every month but instead going five doors down to Dr. O'Grady's personal organ enhancement clinic, which turned out to be a scam.

After this, Eddie suggests that they have a "see how much custard you can fit in your underpants" competition, in which Richie wins after Eddie sits down, splattering his custard all over the room.

Cellulose film has been manufactured continuously since the mid-1930s and is still used today. As well as packaging a variety of food items, there are also industrial applications, such as a base for such self-adhesive tapes as Sellotape and Scotch Tape, a semi- permeable membrane in a certain type of battery, as dialysis tubing (Visking tubing), and as a release agent in the manufacture of fibreglass and rubber products. Cellophane is the most popular material for manufacturing cigar packaging; its permeability to moisture makes cellophane the perfect product for this application as cigars must be allowed to "breathe" while in storage. Cellophane sales have dwindled since the 1960s, due to alternative packaging options.

In its first trial run, it fell off the car and the frustrated auto painter growled at Drew, "take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!"3M Century of Highlights (1902 - 2002) - 3M New Zealand (By "Scotch," he meant "cheap".) The nickname stuck, both to Drew's improved masking tape, and to his 1930 invention, Scotch Brand cellulose tape. In 1930 he came up with the world's first transparent cellophane adhesive tape (called sellotape in the UK and Scotch tape in the United States). During the Great Depression, people began using Scotch tape to repair items rather than replace them. This was the beginning of 3M’s diversification into all manner of marketplaces and helped them to flourish in spite of the Great Depression.
