I think what I'm looking for falls under the double-coated category. It seems as though double-sided and double-coated might mean two different things, but hell if i can know for sure from anything i'm reading online. They go on and on about the tape strength and chemical properties, like I can understand or care about it, but about the actual tapes and what are the differences.barely anything.

They write all sorts of BS information, but they avoid saying anything about what I really am looking for. They are never clear about what they are selling. Man, websites have been really bothering me lately. The descriptions were very unclear about this specific issue. I went to all the online stores and I also looked at the scotch 3m sites.

The hard thing about all this on the internet is that the descriptions aren't clear at all about the liner and stuff. The foam ones all had it, but i don't want foam tape. I went to the store yesterday, but they only had double sided tapes with no removable liners. But I need to find the same for regular scotch tape. Now, it seems as though the foam tapes usually come with a liner on both sides (or at least one). Once it's rolled out, both sides are exposed. That thought kind of blew up our plans for a mega million dollar company based on boxes to hold Cable boxes and DVD players.Actually, most normal double-sided tapes have no liners on either side. Told him each one would almost have to be custom since the slope of the various brands of TV are so different. Worked and the last time the cable guy was here he went nuts over it. I cut the legs of the box to match the slop and then used the foam backed double sided tape to attach it to the TV. I wanted it to set on the back side of the TV which had a fairly severe slop. I built a box to sit atop my large screen TV to hold the DVD and cable box. I don't know what Woodcraft is selling but I bought the double sided masking type from Shopsmith and Home Depot and to me they are identical.įorgot to mention the double sided with foam like material is great for putting together things that don't have a perfect fit and for places where you want a tight weather seal. Plus I think the adhesive is not as sticky so it releases easier. The tape itself is a little thicker and you can separate the pieces by slipping in a chisel. The tape is thin enough that the joint closes fully but is held solid while you position everything before driving home screws, nails or some other fastener.įor turning which I do very little I like the masking type tape. However it is excellent for layout where you are going to nail or screw something together. As I said it was almost a permanent bond but also it is so thin getting a chisel in between to separate the pieces would be difficult. The tape itself is very thin and see thru with adhesive that nearly makes a permit bond on both sides.įor turning I don't know if this tape would be good or not. The last tape I bought from Home Depot was the double sided mylar type tape.

I also found a mylar type tape that was double sided, and they also sale a double sided tape that has various thicknesses of a foam like material between the two sides. I found a tape much like masking tape that was double sided. There are many double sided carpet tapes sold at Home Depot.
