Bondage tape is amazing!! It sticks to itself, but nothing else, and you can unstick & restock it multiple times without it losing grip! How does bondage tape work, scientifically? How does it manage to stick only to itself & unstick? I’m imagining it microscopically looking like velcro.
I know how to use it contextually [; I just don’t understand the science behind the grip. Thank you!

Do you mean friction tape? Years ago i worked at a job where we were issued a roll with our company supplied tools. We used it to make a more ergonomic grip for the handle of the scraper that we used so as to prevent hand fatigue.
That said, this tape had no adhesive on it, but if you wrapped it tight, the friction from the 2 surfaces trying to move across one another kept them “bonded” together. And with friction happening with each layer, the tape tended to stay stuck together. Fascinating stuff.
