What one improbable item is common to and useful for aircraft pilots, piano teachers, knitters, attorneys, college and highschool textbook users, and reading teachers? The answer is translucent removable highlighter tape.
It's used by lawyers and other office workers to highlight text in documents. For example, a real estate closing attorney may require to focus on points on a document that would have to be filed at a courthouse after being signed. He or she simply removes the tape and the document goes to the courthouse unmarked.
Knitters mark patterns with it in order to hold their place. Occasionally they want to mark a complicated section in order to make it easily understandable or to warn themselves to pay attention to a new knit stitch.
Piano scores will be marked without damage using translucent removable highlighter tape. The situation of using felt tipped highlighter pens is how the ink may bleed though and leave unwanted markings on the other side of the paper. The highlighting done with felt tipped highlighter pens is permanent and may even render the score useless for another student.
Those problems also apply to textbooks. Pupils find that their textbooks that they've highlighted with felt tipped pens bring less money, if any at all, if they try to sell them back to textbook stores or other students. The use of removable highlighter tape will protect the worth of textbooks.
When an airplane pilot prepares for a flight he plans the flight with an aeronautical chart. That's fancy aviation talk for the map. The pilot marks his route from his departure airport to his destination airport on his chart. Charts are costly, somewhere around $9 or $10 each. Not surprisingly, using felt tipped pens and other permanent type markers will render the chart useless after a few flights. Removable highlighter tape will let you use the chart until its expiration date.
A reading teacher for primary school grades faces enough problems without having to worry about making reading books useless with excessive markings. Removable tape used to focus on words and phrases will solve that problem. A game a reading teacher might have students play is 'find the word.' Rather than marking the book or game sheet with pencil, the student can use highlighter tape.
So, you see, highlighter tape is a very versatile tool for many fields. It is available in office supply, school supply, and pilot supply stores. It comes on rolls in a variety of widths ranging from 1/6 inch to almost 2 inches wide. It's ideal for temporarily highlighting text, lines, or notes. It's removable without leaving any damage or residue, just like the popular brand removable translucent or transparent tape.
