Dear all Can anyone recommend a good source of clear tape for various luthier tasks around the workshop?
It needs to have a reasonable stickiness, stretchable, and not be too easy to tear. I have tried various suppliers over the years, and have never been entirely happy. I did use branded scotch tape, having bought a batch about a year ago, but the rolls left in my stock have insufficient stickiness now, especially if I try to stretch or put tension in the tape. That is a problem with other unbranded polypropylene tapes I have tried too. Should I expect these types of tape to have a shelf-life? The scotch tape you can get from Staples and other stationery suppliers is the 'easy tear' variety, which tears too easily. I like the adhesive in branded cellotape, but again it is usually the easy tear variety that is widely available. Any suggestions for a good source that is available in the UK or online that can ship to UK would be much appreciated.
