Tape for protecting screen

<< < (2/4) > >>

Frog:
So, which tape did you go with?

Fresh Baked Printing:
I use 3M packing tape. Comes off clean and doesn't gum up. I used a cheap version before and had to throw away the mesh it gummed up so bad during reclaim. Others have ferreted out great dollar store tape but dang if I can find it.

I'll have to dig up the company name and the tape specs . . . I could also send you a sample so you try it out and let everybody know.

I should say that we use a dip tank and the screen goes in with the tape still on it. The solution loosens up the tape and it comes off cleanly and quickly.

Homer:
we only use tape to close up boxes.

I thought you were using rollers.  If so and square bar, how do you protect the mesh in the clamp?
