2 sided tape

I always order mine online… I’ve never been able to find it locally in the New Orleans area.

Check Rocklers or Woodcraft, they usually carry it.

I’ve used three types:
-The thick mega-holding-power stuff from Rockler
-Scotch double sided tape (comes in a yellow dispenser, I think I got it at Target)
-Carpet tape from home depot (it’s in the carpet section, not with the rest of the tapes in the paint section)

I find the strongest to be turners tape

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I only use carpet tape, but I’ve never heard of turner’s tape. I don’t even know if they have here in Norway. A dumb question, but how is it used Jim and who makes it?

Mike, I think they are pretty much the same except that turner’s tape tends to hold a little better (at least in theory).

I get mine from CRLaurance.

I also get it in the carpet section at home centers.

I was like eddy on the tape. I ran out of the tape I like(woodworkers supply.com), and ordered a roll of turners tape from Rocklers( I think 1”x ?) It’s not in their catalog—you have to ask for it. Anyway- just wanted to say I HATE THAT CRAP!!!!!! I built a jig for tapering legs, used some to hold the stop block and backer to keep the leg tapered before I drilled the holes so I could use it for other legs. Tried to take it off, and it almost tore the plywood up trying to pry it loose. It’s WAY TOO STICKY and gummy with all the threads in it. I s.c’d that crap, and swore never to buy another roll. And it was brand new!!! Don’t buy it—it’s crap.

Thanks Charlie. Your answer makes me feel better.

I use golf grip tape, can’t remember where on line I got it but it was a lot cheaper than rockler.

+1 on the Big Box Home Store carpet tape. Had pretty good luck. Always there. Sticky, yet comes off cleanly. Relatively cheap.

I use turners tape from Woodcraft. 2 sizes to choose from and it holds great. It is easy to seperate the pieces when you want and it removes without any residue. No sanding or scaping needed. http://www.woodcraft.com/Family/2000390/2000390.aspx

I use 3M 9576 tape. It’s thin, the adhesive rolls off with your thumb and it holds very well. You can get it relatively inexpensively in 1/2, 1 and 2 inch widths. I use 1/2” almost exclusively and get it from drillspot.com.

I second the golf grip tape. It can be bought on line or in most golf stores. It comes in different widths as well. It has excellent holding power. pkennedy

I use the rockler turner tape, but be careful not to use too much or you will destroy your work getting it apart.
