Is there any special precautions for removing stock tape? Did not see anything in a search. Thanks.
Plus 1 on what he says, have done it myself.... JohnPersonally never had an issue removing it. I always warm it up with a hair dryer so it doesn't leave a residue
Can you name some examples for those that don't know how to do boolean searches on the interweb?Not sure what's most common but after trying several different ones, I think the best tapes are the ones that use a silicone based adhesive...fwiw. They hold tight but can be removed where some are damn near impossible to get off without significant risk of damaging the finish....Very significant!
I wish I could. Not even sure what someone like..well, whats his face that sells it...something rite.....Benchrite maybe. Sorry...My memory is horrible lately. Anyway, I tried several and had a piece of a roll given to me at an industrial supply store nearby that was a silicone based adhesive. I ordered some different tapes from McMaster and the ugly brown teflon silicone adhesive stuff(per mcmaster) was what appeared to be the same as what was given to me. He gave me a piece of a roll that might last for my lifetime. I guess I'll "stick" with it. Lol! It seems to come off good as oppsed to some other stuff that works but sticks like crazy...too crazy.Can you name some examples for those that don't know how to do boolean searches on the interweb?
I'd stay with the stuff benchrite sells or tape sold as having a silicone adhesive...regardless of the substrate really. It sticks very well to anything I've used it on. I think this is what I use.What about on laminated stocks/finishes??????

What product to remove the tape residue, if any??I'd stay with the stuff benchrite sells or tape sold as having a silicone adhesive...regardless of the substrate really. It sticks very well to anything I've used it on. I think this is what I use.
It's ugly but works great. Youn can buy powdered teflon and some use powdered carnuba wax on it, but not really necessary. But the texture of this stuff holds onto powders well and it gets slick as owl shit with powdered teflon rubbed into it.

Not much residue if any, with the silicone based stuff, that I've seen. But wd40 or adhesive remover should do the trick good.What product to remove the tape residue, if any??
