Carpet Tape??

Dano, I use both types.
The gummy type works well with larger pieces that could come loose and the thin white stuff works with templates and the like.
I don’t see you having a major problem using just the thicker stuff.
I got both at a carpet and tile place.
I try not to shop at the borgs. ( personal preference)

You might avoid the big box stores and go to specialty carpet and flooring store.

The thin stuff is like a piece of plastic with glue on both sides. It is usually the cheapest one you can find. The one with fibers is a better holder. More permanent.

Try five and dime stoors or dollar stores. Thats usually the only kind they carry.

I use the thicker double-sided tape I bought at walmart for pattern routing. the wider gap helps me to space the bearing and the cutting edge. I bought the double-sided tape at Walmart.
I also use some carpet tape that I got at Lowes or Home Depot It is thinner and holds the pattern and project together real well. But. Like Buckskin and other say, you can always find some at a carpert store.

Thanks folks, Wally world had some of the thinner stuff I was looking for.

Hawgnutz, I already bought some of the thicker tape too, thinking it was thinner. I want to make a couple zero clearance inserts for the table saw and will use it like you suggest to space the original plate and the piece I am working on.

I found some good carpet tape in the flooring section of Home Despot. It works pretty good but its kind of hard to peel off the backing, A good x-acto blade helps.

-- What would Marc do?

I use doublesided tape from Woodcraft. I hold templates and use it to set drawer fronts on cabinets. It’s good enough that I hold the wooden jaw guards in my vise jaws with it. I never stop thinking up new ways to use it.
