Title: 3M fine line vinyl tape
Post by: Randy Powell on December 28, 2017, 11:06:38 AM
I gotta say, that the cost of 3m vinyl tape has gotten ridiculous. I mean, $13 for a 36 yard roll of 1/8" tape is a bit much.

Randy,

I believe they now offer that tape from another vendor I was recently told. I haven't looked into it yet because I still have some green and blue tape.

However, this tape is yellow in color and it may be less money? Not sure.

You might want to look into this yellow tape product.

Remember, I know nothing about it, only what I was told by another airbrush guy.

Good luck.

Charles

Charles,

You are thinking FBS tape, I think. It's quite good and I've used it before, but it's not available locally. Finesse also makes a very good tape, but again, not available locally. I plan to order some FBS tape but needed something now so had to go to the auto paint shop.

Randy,

Please tell me a bit more about the FBS tape? Sizes, stickiness?

Crazy, yes.  But it works so nice.  And 3M knows it.
