The History of Cellophane tape

 Cellophane tape is used as a binding substance to stick objects together.

in 1925 Richard Drew invented the first Pressure adhesive tape, it was designed to help with two-tone auto paint jobs because it was difficult to have a border between the two colors. In response, after two years of work in 3M's labs, Drew invented the first masking tape, a two-inch-wide paper strip with a light, pressure-sensitive adhesive.

The adhesive was only on the sides of the strip and in its first-ever test run to try to do a two-tone paint job the tape fell off the sides, and the person adding the tape to do the paint job said to add more adhesive.

In 1930 it was titled the Scotch Cellophane tape.
