I like the spoon idea. It is something I could kick myself for not thinking of it already. But this morning I ate a popsicle so I am going to use that stick since it is a "bird in hand"
Now, I ask myself. "Self, what is going to work better? Regular velcro, or that Heavy Duty Industrial velcro you have?
