Going green
« on: July 15, 2018, 07:51:45 AM »
Recently glued up a bow blank, first one in while.   Saw on here where some were using the green tape to cover the glass and thought I would give it a try because anything’s an improvement over the blue stuff.   Used 2 layers and when the glue boogers were ground away it come off the bow as easy as it comes off the roll.  One long clean pull, no bits, pieces or tears. I’m sold.

I use the frog tape exclusively for the same reasons.

I've gone to the green also but on the last lay up I realized that there wasn't enough on the roll and ended up using some dollar store white that was on the wall.  It's thin tape but it worked out fine and pealed off much easier than the blue but not as nice as the green.

The green house brand at Menards is all I have used for years. If you get no glue on it it is a breeze to get off.
