"Mommy, how do they make Scotch tape?" I don't know about you, but I get questions like that all the time. This site explains the manufacturing process of common items in considerable (and often quite technical) detail.


It also provides historical background about the reasons various products were developed. For instance, Scotch tape was developed by the 3M company to solve a problem early automakers had painting cars.
