I need a good supplier for Screen Tape (rubber based), I really like the tan. Thanks
-
If your using it to block off around the edges we buy from ULINE.com we use the tan PVC packing tape 2" and 3" width.
-
I have bought from them before but did not get the right kind of tape and when I called to see about a return or replace they said sorry. I know it was my fault but I was willing to pay the difference and restocking fee. Does the PVC tape come off the screens easy? I may have to eat some crow....and call them back.

That's the one I use as well. It's not whether the tape itself is PVC or Polypropylene that aids its removal, it is the rubber based adhesive.
One reason I get the PVC one, is they sell it by half cases, which is enough for me.

Thanks Frog and monk....

Staples has the natural rubber adheasive 2" packing tape, by the case it's cheaper then U-Line. Comes off the frames, usually no problems. Basically use it on the whole screen, edges, reg marks and any pin holes.

Found the tan tape( rubber based ) for $1.98 a 110x2'' roll from Atlantic Tape and Packaging.... Woo Hoo!
-
love the 2.5 and 3. mill 3" natural rubber adhesive from Uline, we use with both water based and plastisol screens. Great stuff, great price, no mess left behind
-
I use a 2.2 mil, 3" rubber based adhesive tape, 110 yds and I've sampled a few dozen different tapes over the years. I'd love to know what you guys are paying for a roll of the 3". We are paying 4.50.

J&J supply in Spokane.

3" tape from Ace Hardware. $2.90 a roll. Been using it for 16 years!

+1 just ordered 3 cases of tape from them. I don't like the white 500 but the clear is great. Got 2" and 3" as we'll as some packing tape.
-
I use a local guy...Tape-zit. I buy 3" clear rubber based...works great. You really need a 3" dispenser though with the clear tape.

Do you have a phone #?

That guy is to high, and he wont budge.

(770) 962-4395...his prices usually beat u-line...also, he is local, which I like.

Gaah, you guys and your damn tape.
...try what I did. Get a wide coater and use blockout all the way to the edge. Trust me, I taped screens for 19+ years. After reading a few posts of others going tapeless, I decided to try it for thirty days, no excuses (yeah, I know I sound like a twelve-stepper or something). Once I got in the habit, I never looked back. I go thru about $25 of blockout every three months now, versus what would probably be $200+ of split tape. Not to mention the time savings, the mess and the addition crap in the landfill.
-
how about ink on the frames? how do you clean that off?
-
I HATE the ink on the frams!!!! That really stinks, that is the main reason I use the tape and of course for the reg marks and maybe some pinholes in spots.
-

Yeah! I hate it when ink get between the roller and the mesh.
-
+1 for J&J. We told them what we could get from ULINE and they beat the price. Just know that they will call over and over again to see if you need more or would like to try some of their other products. It is seriously like clockwork!
-
...if there is ink on the frame, we just scub it with the same stain remover during reclaim (we use primarily Easiway 701 for that step, and blow it off at the same time via pressure washer.
...the transition is really all about making a conscious effort to change habits. Thats why I committed for a 30-day trial.

Care to share? I can't find a decent supplier of tape locally anywhere!
