lonestarcountrymusic 3 Posted February 22, 2012 Ok so i have had problems with this second roll of R-tape, it wrinkles way too easy when running the squeegee across it. It also seems to have problems when rolling a decal up for shipping. The first roll i had worked great but this second roll is horrible. does anyone have recommendations on good app tape? (Not looking for clear tape) I use oracal 651 and some times some 3M vinyl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted February 22, 2012 I used to use R-tape paper tape for many years, then I won an auction on Ebay for a roll of Main PerfectTear, I have been with Main Perfect Tear tape ever since. If you want to know where I purchase it, PM me. I purchase a 48" log and they slit it FREE to my sizes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZ SKEETER 4,709 Posted February 22, 2012 what's the benefit to perfect tear....? Like I said, I used R-tape paper tape for many years. But the Main tape just applies/lays, so much nicer. I make very large (100" x 20") sets. even larger, and just LIKED it better. I switched every size to Main tape. and have stayed with it for over 3 years now. I can tell the difference between them. That's just my opinion. Perfect Tear is just the name of the tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
