firemalt 10 Posted June 13, 2008 I'm looking to purchase some clear app tape for some multi layering jobs I have coming up, and I know I wouls like to stick with R-Tape brand... but I'm curious what's the difference between the AT-42 and the AT-60. They are both medium tack tape. The price between the two at the size I need in the Fellers catalog is less than $2.00, but the AT-42 is for a 50yrd roll, and the AT-60 is a 100yrd roll. Thanks for any info... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSultan 6 Posted June 13, 2008 AT-42 is designed to prevent tunneling and edge curling, while AT-60 is not. I have a roll of AT-60 and it works great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firemalt 10 Posted June 13, 2008 I'm not too worried about tunneling, cause the decals shouldn't ever be bent or rolled. Have you had any issues with the edges curling up on you with the AT-60? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSultan 6 Posted June 13, 2008 I haven't had any issues with edge curling with the AT-60. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firemalt 10 Posted June 19, 2008 Bought a roll of AT-60 from Fellers yesterday... 15" x 100 yards for $33.00 Working on an order today, so I'll post my impression of the product later tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firemalt 10 Posted June 21, 2008 Well... I finished mt job and I must say, if you've been holding off on purchasing some clear app tape for multi layered decals... do yourself a huge favor and buy some! I was able to do 25 - 3" x 8" two layer decals within 15 minutes(apply app tape, and layer). The nice thing about this stuff, other than it's completely clear, is that it's much more rigid than regular app tape, which I learned helps when layering. Also, there doesn't seem to be an issue with edge curling. But with that said, it doesn't seem to be as tacky as regular app tape, so doesn't like to stick to the vinyl backing all that well. Overall, from this one job... I'd give the product a 7.9 out of 10... worth the $33 bones for 100 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The AT-60 is a medium tack tape. RTape does have a high-tack tape (although I have not tried it); It is ClearConform 2576. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
routesmith 0 Posted June 29, 2008 I use poli-tape (low tack) It seems to work nicely Wayne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
