Re: Artists' tape
I have part of a roll left of the artist's white tape and have been wondering what I'll do when it runs out (if all life's dilemmas could be like this!). A few options I've found: * Blue painters' tape (Scotch, I think), which is more tacky but comes up cleanly if not left on too long. * Collage artist Jonathan Talbot sells a low-tack artist's tape, but its a bit pricey. His web site says its from 3M; see: http://www.talbot1.com/collage_supplies/index.html * Daniel Smith sells an artist tape, but I've never used it so can't say what its like. * I've heard of people using gaffer's tape, which is tacky but comes up cleanly. Again, haven't tried it. Best, David. > etienne garbaux wrote: >> 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.
