So we toss the tape and it will end up sticking to sides of the garbage bag and at times pretty much ruin the bag and we have to change out the whole thing with the can being barely full. It's like a spider web in there sometimes.
Would using a silicone spray stop that from happening? Any tips or tricks?
-
Use old magazines, catalogs or buy a few newspapers. Ball up the tape, wrap it in the paper and then discard. Takes a little more time, but you can get more life out of each garbage bag.
-
We have an old 5 gallon bucket that all tape goes into, once full we ball it up and put it into a garbage that is almost ready to be changed. The 5 gallon bucket is coated with all sorts of plastisol from the used tape inside, so the tape doesn't stick in there.
-
Try using a smaller trash can than the bag fits, then wrap the bag around the outside of the can so the bottom of the trash bag's bottom is at the top of the can. As you pull the tape wad it up a bit and place in the trash can so it does not pull the bag back down, you can use an elastic band (bungee) to help. This allows the bag to "dispense" as you fill the trash can.

We collect the shirt plastic bag from previous production then wrap tape in it. then throw.
-
We use a flattened box on the floor. then ball it all up and throw in the dumpster. A trash bag isn't even in the mix
-
we use a box, fold the flaps out, when done fold them on top and tape it up. we use boxes as garbage cans a lot around here, they fit under presses and save a few steps when you need to throw stuff away. and you're not buying bags that you will only throw out in a few days.

Same here...all the boxes that our chemicals come in, end up being boxes for tape in the screen cleaning area.

Same here. Box gets full, throw the whole thing away and start a new box.

Are you guys just throwing the box in a contractor bag when it's full or do you put it out on Cardboard day? Or does everyone here have a dumpster?
-
Spray the new bag generously with WD40 or any type of spray lube, tape never sticks.
-
or just use beat up old t-shirt boxes that you would be throwing out anyway. Spraying a plastic bag with WD-40 is a waste of time and perfectly good WD-40.
Not trying to sound like a jerk, but to me it makes the most sense.
Also, we usually sit to untape, and a box is the right height to use as a trash can.

We don't use tape.. at all.. permanent blockout is so they way to go.

dang, I'm with you. nuts to all this tape business....
-
You all are going to think I'm nutty as a fruitcake, but I had permanent block screens and found them a little harder to clean ink from sides, so I prefer tape easier to clean IMHO.

Yes! We just got our first batch of permanent blockout screens and they are awesome!
However we gang up screens with multiple images and will still use some tape to cover up... The box idea sounds great though

this, and you can stuff a lot of tape into a box...

We toss ours in the regular trash dumpster.
-
Doh!
-
Awesome. Yeah, the box idea is great. Feel dumb for not even thinking of that. No shortage of boxes that is for sure. Thanks all!
-
Another vote for using a box.
-
Doh!
We've had similar "art installations" here. That is beautiful work...

So I didn't read everyone's answer, someone may do this too, but we don't use a garbage back, we us a big tub, put the tape right in the tube, as you know, that will start to just create a big tape pile, then as it gets to the height of the tub top, take a shirt from your rag bin and lay it over it, smoosh it down. Start piling on top, once that pile is pretty dense, put another shirt on top, smoosh it down, then we lay a piece of visqueen plastic on the floor, turn and dump the pile on it, and fold it up. The visqueen will stick to the tape, making a nice big bean bag sized ball. Toss that puppy in the dumpster, nice and easy.

if you are going to continue to use contractor bags try using this as a non stick coating.
