What double sided tape is currently available for DCF

Postby andrewa » Sat 04 Jan, 2025 6:57 pm

I previously had some “Venture” brand tape that I got from somewhere (maybe ZPacks, or Simon at Tier Gear) however it has run out, and the roll didn’t have a number on it. I did a fairly involved search a few years ago for a suitable 3M tape that was available in Oz, but can’t recall the outcome…..I recall that the pickings were slim.

Over to Brains Trust - does anyone know a suitable tape….currently using Trex Superglue double sided tape from Bunnings. It certainly sticks extremely well, but it’s $15.50 for 4.5m.

(I “found” 4m of 0.5oz Zpacks DCF in my shed that I’d bought years ago, so currently making an inner for an Integral Designs Sildome, which I also bought years ago!

Try contacting Tearloch from Zero G Gear. A little while ago he custom-made some 25mm and 50mm wide DCF tape lengths for me, using 0.5oz DCF and double-sided adhesive transfer tape - the latter sounds like what you're after. Certainly stuck like all buggery and helped extend the life of an old Double Rainbow.
