Tape for protecting screen

<< < (4/4)

squeegee:
I used to use a red tape by Polyken, like the blue R-tape but doesn't take as much effort to get off, I remember being told and later confirming that the red Polyken doesn't stick so badly to aluminum as blue R-tape.  Also used to use a box sealing rubber based adhesive tape from Uline which worked well too.  About 2 yrs ago we went to permanent block out which to this day has been a really great product for us, now tapeless except for reg marks and emergencies.

Frog:
Hey Squeegee, which block-out do you use?

You actually inspired me to start a new thread to keep this one a little more on topic. See ya over there.

exactly the same here.  I always double up the newman tape and we use the plastic roller protectors.  We don't break mesh on the rollers anymore with this setup. 

though I keep on trying to come up with some way to get rid of the ink tape on the rollers.  I was thinking maybe a sandwich of the yellow newman tape and then that permanent blockout so you can coat right over the blockout as the tape would interfere.
