Title: 3" screen tape - What are you using
Post by: Ross_S on January 19, 2017, 02:49:50 PM: OK I'm looking for a new tape while I wait to hear from Nazdar on the increase in cost. Was getting the 3" solid white tape for around $5.38 when buying a case and I just got the bill for $7.10 a roll. This was a good tape didn't leave any residue so something similar would be great.

Another vote for intertape...we use the 570...not sure the difference. I buy them from staples with coupon codes. Last time I paid 1.65 a roll.
