Go to your local print shop and ask them for scraps of NCR paper. Tell them you want the remains of their "CFB" sheets. This is carbonless paper for business forms (NCR = no carbon required), and you want the middle sheets, the ones that are coated front and back (hence the CFB designation). 1" x 2" rectangles are what I use. If they have it, they will probably give you cutter scraps for free. If not, a few dollars should buy enough paper for hundreds of stickers.
If you have to buy as much as a ream, they will probably charge you something like $10 plus a few bucks to cut it for you, but the cost per sticker is virtually nil. If you make them the 1" x 2" size I use, you can get 22,000 pieces out of a ream.
Then trundle over to the nearest art supply store and get a can of "spray mount." This is the aerosol equivalent of that semi-sticky stuff they use on Post-It notes. Costs about $5.
Now, take a piece of the NCR paper, mist it with the spray tack. Wait about 3 secs for the adhesive to get tacky, then stick it on the clubface. Doesn't matter which side you stick to the club. Go strike a ball.
This will give crisp blue/purple impact marks as good as the impact strips, and is sensitive enough to show a mark for all shots with the possible exception of the gentlest of putts.

Try Carbon Copy Paper..... use double stick tape to attach it to the face.-----Original Message----- I was wondering what could be used as a cheaper and more readily available product to act as impact stickers? The first thing I thought of was masking tape but are there any other good alternatives?
