Is Main Tape PerfecTEAR plus any good?

[signmeup]

I have access to a new supplier and they offer this "Main Tape" brand I haven't tried. Is is any good? I need it for general purpose cut vinyl. It cost less than what I've been using but I don't need a roll of cheap crap if it's no good.

We were not happy with it when we tried it. It curled really bad and would not lift the vinyl off of the backing as well as R-tape. IMO

We use the full Main Tape line all of the time, no issues at all!

Dang! It's a tie.
Anyone else?

Main Tape PerfecTear is all we use here.

Another vote for main tape, it's all I use, I get it from Fellers.

I use main tape as well.. Make sure you buy perfectTear layflat.

I've used others and didn't like any. Also it's more in what tack you buy then what brand. For low low tack we use clear. Fir most installs we use low tack. For shipping out to clients high tack because it lasts longer.

Help?

I think all we use is Maintape apart from clear.

Same here, and luckily they're 2 miles from our door.

I use it too but I'm not real picky about transfer tape, I usually buy whatever is cheapest.

Perfect tear. Name says it all. I use R-tape 4075, heavy tack. Main Tape curls to much for our use.

now see i hate any paper tape but 4076 which is the RLA conform series from Rtape. Everything else curls here anyway

 

[Jackpine]

Ditto!

Main Tape PerfecTear is all we use here.

We are using Perfect Tear as well. I have 4 brand new rolls of Rtape Conform sitting here that won't stick to the release liner. Put it down and a couple minutes later huge bubbles and tunnels. The Main tape product is performing well.

Perfect Tear is all we use as well. Tried the R-Tape for a while and did not like it.

Well.....quite a good responce. Looks like Main Tape gets the thumbs up. Thanks to all who gave their opinion.

How do you like the main tape? I want to get some 575 serious high tack but am not wanting it to tunnel or curl up on me.

Thanks.

I would try the 775- layflat hightack.

Any complaints or comments about Main Tape Preview Plus clear medium tack tape? I would like to give it a try.

they changed?

Fellers sends MT with a new tube...It seems to fail faster when ya use it wet! It is not the same 575 that they used to make. I think they get it made in China now. I been using it since 1999 and now its not as good. I for one am searching around. Everybody is aiming lower these days...

Everything is made in China.
