Re: Artists' tape



Etienne,

I never used the Scotch brand tape. I always used the "paper tape" I bought from motion picture film suppliers for taping fullcoat 16mm sound together while editing. Christy's Editorial <http://store.christys.net/shop/index.php?cPath=42> sells

"Permacel P-724, white artist paper tape"

The Permacel tape is available in a variety of widths. Have you tried the Permacel tape? I've been using it for years.

Alas, my last roll of the old Scotch white artists' tape is all but gone, the core so ratty the part number is no longer legible. I know it was discontinued years ago (does anybody remember the part number?) I believe Scotch still makes a white artist's tape, but last I knew it's not the same as the old stuff. Nothing else I tried, including Scotch's remaining "artists' tape," even came close. I was lucky to find a stash of the old stuff tucked away in an out-of-the-way little art supply store in the late '80s or early '90s, but now I'm out.

What artists' tapes do people use and like now?

Thanks,

etienne
