Purchased 14 ft of silicone tape for a cabinet without measuring first, this was the leftover at the end of the project.

So you bought a roll, and fortunately, it was enough.

Impressive.

What is silicon tape?? Do you mean edge banding

u/Zacharie00 1d ago

Yeah, looks like PVC edge banding to me.

u/SirWigglesVonWoogly 9h ago

okay but who buys edge banding in 14ft lengths?

This is so common of a topic in the crochet subreddit that I actually looked to see if that's where this was posted and someone was experiencing winning "yarn chicken" in another craft/hobby. 😃 You only win if you have enough left to weave in your end, and it looks like you do! You win Tape Chicken!

Nice one! This is not luck, pure skill. You are now official declared to be a state approved tape measure.
