The tape is quite thin, and once well adhered simply refuses to peel off in a single strip. I am not thrilled with its removal properties however. It applies well, holds very well, the release layer starts and peels quite easily. I got the JVCC DCP-01 Double Coated Crepe Paper Tape in a few sizes. Well.I got my tape a while back and have been using it, thought I would report my observations. I appreciate all the responses, cool to see how many different ways guys are getting it done. I do some pattern routing, I need a tape there on occasion, for the shaper there is not a tape alive I'd trust to hold the work to a template when my hands are involved, its solid hold downs and stops there, destaco's on a jig. I don't do any turning, so I don't need that kind of adhesion. Well this DCP-02 looks like just the thing, and the price is more than reasonable. I'm pretty sure looking at my records that I bought the last batch from Highland Hardware, real easy to rip by hand, holds aggressively but not so much that it ruins work, never an issue with residue come finishing time. I've used spec brand, thats a little pricy but performs pretty well, I've used the wood craft brand too, saw a price when looking of $19/per roll for 3/4".who do they think they are kidding? If I bought tape like that I wouldn't have any money left for wood! Ouch. I use a tape at work with a blue plastic backing, very sticky, hard to remove from work, nearly destroys templates when removing, will lift mahogany grain randomly, and the blue backing is nearly impossible to peel, plus you have to cut it with a sharp knife, tough cloth stuff, nasty product. Jim, that looks and reads just like the one I've been using, thanks much for that link. JVCC DCP-02 Double Coated Crepe Paper Tape (Acrylic Adhesive) It's not ideal but doesn't leave you with sticky residue on either surface or trying to scrape the foam off if it's foam-filled. I've found plenty of double-stick that holds like the dickens I'm looking for something that lets go easier.įor all, as a work-around using overly-sticky tape, I've learned to put clear packing tape on my pieces (ideally with one ended reaching beyond the joint and folded over to give a handle) and use double-stick to hold those together. Was there any information on whether it was the DCP-01 (rubber adhesive) or DCP-02 (acrylic adhesive)? No affiliation, just a very satisfied customer." It was on Brazilian Cherry(not an easy wood to sand) and very small pieces of the tape held the small strip (7" X 1/2" x 1/2") in place. Using oscillating spindle sander to sand out arcs. Last night I was shaping small parts for a small box base. The trick is also gradually finding out how much/or little is needed to hold items in place. Holding sandpaper onto a block/cork/soft back, etc. In fact, it's so easy to use, I find myself finding new ways to use it. Holds firm but releases without too much pressure and leaves no residue. I found it and have been using it for about a year and it works great. I read on a thread here(don't remember exact one) about a double sided tape that is a crepe type paper with adhesive. "I used to try and use double sided carpet tape and any other double sided tape I could find at local big box stores. It's been another year and this is still the best double sided tape I have ever used. I solved the backing problem before it arrived.The below is from another thread on same subject. Spectape ST501 - This is the replacement tape I bought after some research. Do not cut the tape and backing together! > Always leave extra backing that extends beyond the tape itself. Unroll the tape you need with both sticky sides exposed, and cut it with scissors. Peel the backing off first, but don't cut the backing. What I do now is leave an inch of backing attached to the tape, beyond where the tape ends. I discovered a solution that works for me. The major problem I have with the woodturner's tape was getting the thin plastic backing off without making a mess of the tape before applying it. Just a few fibers, and it is not a real issue. On very rare occasions, I have noticed wood tearout. Use small bits of tape, not large lengths of it. I found that an even, steady force works best, and it gives up slowly but surely. It is not easy to pull apart, but that strength is reassuring. It is thin and rubbery, with a strong bond. I bought woodturner's tape at Rockler, and had mixed feelings about it, but have grown to like and use it. When it works, it works, but things can go wrong, like poor alignment when putting the two sides together, glue seepage past the edge of the tape, too much CA soaking through the tape, etc. In theory, the double blue tape just peels off the wood, well, like blue tape.) (CA on blue tape one side, Activator/Accelerator on blue tape on other side. Scrollers in my spouse's scroll saw club use the blue tape with CA glue trick.
