Yeah. Cold ain't good for the glue. Goes for anything like masking tape ect.

I,m sure we had some that wouldn’t stick n other kid stuck it next to light for five mins n it was fine

 

[John j]

We had the normal, orange and green/blue on a job and ended up using all three in same room just to entertain our sens ...........god this job bores me lol.

 

[zolco]

I'm.using the blue fibetape on a reskim, it's absolute pants, had to get some cheapo ones because the fibatape seems too heavy and grinning through the skim. It's great on new boards tho

Love orange scrim! ''Tis the best

I’m not being funny but can someone just invent a tape that sticks

No frays no falling off no ripping
And definitely no heating up under a blow torch before use the sodding thing

You've had the answer a staple at each end of scrim if not sticking!

Jesus some people wanna make things complicated!

Finding the ultimate Scrim tape has been a life time ambition mate , tbh I was even considering open my own factory at one point , to make some that was just useable but didn’t have time too, even started thread on here to big up the new pink hi tac one , thought it had evolved at last but had a few rolls that was still crap, back to square one

Stick your scrim on your dashboard on the way to work with warm blowers on, it sticks like s**t but harder to cut, I've got a few really sharp scrapers that do the job.

 

[johniosaif]

2 bonus balls left ,who feels lucky
