Roller Method

 * 1)  Unroll the heavy, strong tape slowly.
 * 2)  Clasp the tape onto the roller. Remember to keep the sticky side facing out.
 * 3)  Wrap around several layers of tape to form the roll. Cut the tape aslant so that it can be easily picked up again to remove a layer. Just keep peeling off as the tape is covered in lint.
