[Boatanchors] boatanchor unpacking hint

[Nick England]

Maybe everyone but me knows this -
   I unpacked a boatanchor yesterday that had been cushioned with
white insulation foam - the kind that breaks up into little
static-charged beads that get all over everything and won't let go.
   So I got some Scotch packing tape and made a sticky-side-out loop
to pick up some foam beads off the gear, floor, etc. Works really
super! - the tape had a static charge too and the foam beads would
just leap onto it, while the sticky held them there.
   When the tape is covered just toss it away and make a new one. No
more shaking your foam-covered paws over the trash can hoping some of
those damn beads will accidentally land inside.
cheers,
