"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
I am particular about the screen tape we use. I've been buying the intertape #510 and it's a natural rubber based adhesive at 2.5 mil and we've used a ton of different mils and brands of tape over the years and settled on this. I have gotten it for around $4.15/roll and last time a little over $5/roll but now I have to draw the line at $7.99/roll.I know we have all talked about the tape we use but it's scattered about in different threads. Can you guys list the exact tape you're using to tape the insides of your screens? I'm assuming most are using a natural rubber based adhesive since the others don't work very well, but what brand, spec and supplier? I don't like the super thin, 1.8 mil tape since we have fans blowing all over production that tape is harder to work with and I don't think I'll like the 2.0 mil but I'm going to try it anyway. So I've bought the #500 Intertape, 2.0 mil but it's price is still way too high for my liking, $6.49/roll. I'll work as hard as I have to to find a more affordable tape that still works but if anyone has one that they love at a good price point let's get it out in this thread. I have a feeling that those who will be buying tape soon are going to be going through this same issue I am.
