Yes I thought heat might make a nice fire with which to burn away hats and tape. Maybe it's on a torch that can be carried so it doesn't hurt. Although, indestructible tape does provide a challenge that, rather than getting rid of it, you have to work around it. The one with all the pathe's was great. Maybe a peel could make them slip? (Elephants would not be able to zip up pants if the zip was on the top.)
