The grey 4011/411 tape makes a stronger bond than the clear 4010/410 tape, but the clear 4010/410 is easier to work with and makes a solid semi-permanent bond to secure the FBL unit without the need for a Velcro fasterner wrapped around it. So yes, the clear 4010/410 tape is a bit harder to remove than Parma tape, but I consider the slightly stronger bond makes the clear 4010/410 more advantageous. APPLICATION TIPS: Ensure your surface is smooth, clean and dry for the best bond. Compared to the Parma tape, the clear 4010/410 tape makes a stronger bond. NO MESS OR TOOLS: Use instead of nails and screws. The clear 4010/410 tape also comes off fairly easily in one piece, unlike the grey 4011/411 which tends to break apart as it comes off. The clear 4010/410 tape holds the FBL unit just as secured as the grey 4011/411, but the clear 4010/410 makes it much easier to remove the FBL unit by twisting the FBL unit clockwise or counterclockwise. I consider that the clear 4010/410 tape is a next step up in overall improvement to the Parma tape and superior to the grey 4011/411 for use in this hobby. These are some reviews of the Parma tape at Amain. This tape is similar to the famous Parma tape that ReadyHeli used to recommend for mounting the VBar units. I now use the clear 4010/410 tape exclusively for this hobby. Removing the 4011/411 tape residue is also a PITA. Many folks end up using a screw driver to remove the FBL unit, and the FBL unit ends up all scratched up. The grey 4011/411 tape is great for hard mounting the FBL unit. I'm thinking this is my new tape source.I started out using the grey 4011/411 tape. I appreciate all the responses, cool to see how many different ways guys are getting it done. I do some pattern routing, I need a tape there on occasion, for the shaper there is not a tape alive I'd trust to hold the work to a template when my hands are involved, its solid hold downs and stops there, destaco's on a jig. I don't do any turning, so I don't need that kind of adhesion. Well this DCP-02 looks like just the thing, and the price is more than reasonable. I'm pretty sure looking at my records that I bought the last batch from Highland Hardware, real easy to rip by hand, holds aggressively but not so much that it ruins work, never an issue with residue come finishing time.

I've used spec brand, thats a little pricy but performs pretty well, I've used the wood craft brand too, saw a price when looking of $19/per roll for 3/4".who do they think they are kidding? If I bought tape like that I wouldn't have any money left for wood! Ouch. I use a tape at work with a blue plastic backing, very sticky, hard to remove from work, nearly destroys templates when removing, will lift mahogany grain randomly, and the blue backing is nearly impossible to peel, plus you have to cut it with a sharp knife, tough cloth stuff, nasty product. Jim, that looks and reads just like the one I've been using, thanks much for that link. JVCC DCP-02 Double Coated Crepe Paper Tape (Acrylic Adhesive) It's not ideal but doesn't leave you with sticky residue on either surface or trying to scrape the foam off if it's foam-filled. I've found plenty of double-stick that holds like the dickens I'm looking for something that lets go easier.įor all, as a work-around using overly-sticky tape, I've learned to put clear packing tape on my pieces (ideally with one ended reaching beyond the joint and folded over to give a handle) and use double-stick to hold those together. there any information on whether it was the DCP-01 (rubber adhesive) or DCP-02 (acrylic adhesive)? No affiliation, just a very satisfied customer." It was on Brazilian Cherry(not an easy wood to sand) and very small pieces of the tape held the small strip (7" X 1/2" x 1/2") in place. Using oscillating spindle sander to sand out arcs.

Last night I was shaping small parts for a small box base. The trick is also gradually finding out how much/or little is needed to hold items in place. Holding sandpaper onto a block/cork/soft back, etc. In fact, it's so easy to use, I find myself finding new ways to use it. Holds firm but releases without too much pressure and leaves no residue. I found it and have been using it for about a year and it works great. I read on a thread here(don't remember exact one) about a double sided tape that is a crepe type paper with adhesive. "I used to try and use double sided carpet tape and any other double sided tape I could find at local big box stores. It's been another year and this is still the best double sided tape I have ever used. The below is from another thread on same subject.
