Peel and stick measuring tape? Ive never even heard of it. Sounds
right handy.

Got a link?

The only place I've ever seen it (or used it) is in sporting goods
stores for measuring fish. Skinny stuff for your rod, wider for your
gunwale. Nowadays, I just throw 'em down on the aluminum yardstick.

Any "good" hardware store will have them. I know Starrett make's em.
"Measuring tape - Adhesive" in the Enco catalog.

Other option would be to pick up the cheap/freebie paper tapes
sometimes given away in furniture or fabric stores. Not as durable ... but
cheaper.
