Evolution of Scrim Tape

[Vincey]

Had a few samples sent through today to try , will post up a review next week as I'm off this weekend, suppose to be the highest of tack hopefully this is the breakthrough in scrim tape the trade has been crying out for , for years, will be testing it for stickyness and ability not to friar

I just know that @flynnyman loves the colour already

You can get free samples from wack building supplies I think

Ping a few staples in your scrim and it never comes down overnight but I hate it when it frays and peels off the edge.

 

[Natwasere]

To be honest most scrims I use these days stay up over night, often do it and never really come down. The fraying annoys me more then anything. Looks like good quality but not really ground breaking.

Charles Darwin would be proud of this huge evolutionary change.

 

[Natwasere]

Honda NSR...... I would have one of them

 

[gps]

Making scrim slightly stickier is an évolution lol

Had that when I was 19. Loved it and wished I'd kept hold of it. Expensive now!

 

[Vincey]

Making scrim slightly stickier as an evolution lol

Don't know that it is yet, I've not used it , I'll let you know after work Monday

 

[flynnyman]

Always made me laugh when I got skrim that did not stick, I always had a vision of a load of factory workers making it and saying "but it doesn't stick?" And the owner saying "a f**k it". It was brought in about 1992/4 if my memory is correct and it's whole selling point was it sticks, for f**k sake you had one job. It's a case of taking short cuts at the most important bit and buying cheap glue to save pennies lol it is not a lot to ask for ffs

1992 2002 2012 , so basically for 27 years plasterers have been waiting for this tape if it works and passes the tests , talk about piling the pressure on , roll on Monday,I can't wait

Here we go, adding another two years ffs I thought 25 would be enough so save the bullshit for when you've tried it

Our fate rests in your hands.Like that film Armegdon.

I stanley down the edges stops the fraying @Natwasere

 

[Nicm]

That orange scrim is not too bad,Protestant scrim one lad I know calls it.

Bring back jute and cotton . Things were better in the old days.

 

[Lastlaff]

@beader - you've just started a trip down memory-Lane for me. That was a proper bike - completely unstable if you dared a wheely.

We always cut the edge on every new roll and it totally solves that. Give it a shot, you'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago.

 

[jamesthefirst]

One of the best ive used for not fraying.

How do you mean 'cut the edge' mate?

A picture would do a much better job explaining it. Do a couple cuts on each side and you won't have to worry about it anymore. You're just trying to cut the last string or 2 on the outside edge. Even if it starts to pull off it'll only go about 4 inches and stop.

I do that as a standard now... every roll I use

 

[dustydave]

Used this pink scrim today and it is good quality. Best one on the market is British gypsum extreme orange but about £7 a roll in tradepoint.

 

[beader]

Anyone else notice that if you turn Vincey's ceiling photo on its side it looks like being on the wrong side of a glory hole and a customer is waiting....

 

[algeeman]

if it doesnt stick... throw it into a bucket of water then it will stick.

Do not do this as it will cause the scrim to spurr lash .
