My music projects require the use of many cables of varying length and thickness. Keeping them untangled can be a nightmare, but neatly coiled cables are an essential part of a smooth performance. Not only that, but one bad kink can render them useless forevermore. I always try to take good care of my cables by wrapping them into loose coils before packing them away. Trouble is…it can be hard to find a way to hold the bundles together. Twist ties last for about 2 shows before breaking. And rubber bands…I never touch them! The short Velcro pieces that come packaged with cables are ok for small bundles, but they don’t hold up well for large ones. After listening to me complain about this problem for long enough, Mike came to my rescue and bought me these nifty Velcro Plant Ties. I’ve got to admit that they’re pretty amazing! The product is a 2-sided Velcro tape that comes on a roll. It can be cut to any length, as needed. When wrapped around a tomato plant or a bunch of cables, it sticks to itself and holds the bundle intact. It’s reusable too. And while the bright green color may not be my favorite shade, it’s great for visibility in dark clubs. A roll of this stuff has become a permanent addition to my gig bag. I’m sure that there are plenty of non-musical uses for Velcro Tape too. Go out and get some for yourself!
