Where to get colored Packing tape.
« on: May 11, 2009, 16:24:12 PM »
Hi Slope fanatics,

I was trying to get some colored packing tape.
And i indeed found some on ebay, from the UK.
Thing is despite the tape is quite cheap in price the shipping is a Rip-off!
22€ to ship a handfull of roles... instead if it was for the N.I. it would be 6.99€.
I'd rather get an house on belfast to receive the packages... :(

So the question is, does anyone know if i can get some tape around in Dublin? I was going to use it to cover and decorate a depron made plane and i really didn't want to use the normal ugly brown tape. I don't wanna have a flying brownie.

Thanks.

Hi Fred,

I was trying to get at least two colors. To make some sort of decoration.
I was going for yellow an green.

Alan_Perse as in a punishment for letting it crash! :) Chewing the foam.

Btw here it is the place where i saw it:

I guess i can order a crate of them if anyone else is interested.

hi Icewind,
try your local agri supply store,
most carry a black tape for joining silage pit plastic covers
and it's usually 3 inches wide, high tack tape.
Have used it to put "Invasion stripes" under my Ripmax Coyote
For other colours try Woodies Diy, not cheap but better than
buying a case load,
Hope this helps.

Thank you SeanD all the help is welcome.

I went to woodies and check what they had there, i only saw thick tape the one used to fix hoses and stuff like that. And like you said they are expensive.

In this mean time i put some family members back in Portugal searching for some, and they did.
Found some packaging tape for .80cents the roll on some chinese stores.
Not many colors, dark yeallow and dark grey, still that is ok. I can do a bee like layout.
Combined with that black one you refered.

I have to create a post about what I'm doing. :)

error404 that would be awesome!
Thanks.

I completely forgot vinyl.
I started this in Portugal and when i tried and check there they only sell minimum 5mts each color. That was WAY too much for me to use, if i wanted at least 2 colors.

Let's get on and make a topic! :)

Keith Killkenny that must be sports related i guess, as for me Killkenny is beer and pretty good one!
I hope not to offend anyone.
