If your using it to block off around the edges we buy from ULINE.com we use the tan PVC packing tape 2" and 3" width.

I have bought from them before but did not get the right kind of tape and when I called to see about a return or replace they said sorry. I know it was my fault but I was willing to pay the difference and restocking fee. Does the PVC tape come off the screens easy? I may have to eat some crow....and call them back.

That's the one I use as well. It's not whether the tape itself is PVC or Polypropylene that aids its removal, it is the rubber based adhesive.

One reason I get the PVC one, is they sell it by half cases, which is enough for me.

Staples has the natural rubber adheasive 2" packing tape, by the case it's cheaper then U-Line. Comes off the frames, usually no problems. Basically use it on the whole screen, edges, reg marks and any pin holes.

I use a 2.2 mil, 3" rubber based adhesive tape, 110 yds and I've sampled a few dozen different tapes over the years.  I'd love to know what you guys are paying for a roll of the 3".  We are paying 4.50.

I use a local guy...Tape-zit.  I buy 3" clear rubber based...works great.  You really need a 3" dispenser though with the clear tape.
