The new coloured rolls that BG have brought out? I thought there were double the price if its same price fair enough I'l give it a bash,that jewsons scrim is awful
 
Used to use some grey stuff was the bollox ,super sticky never an issue then seemed to dissapear quick as it arrived like all good things that work too well.

The silver rolls? There were the dogs years ago but it got s**t..any1 use euro scrim? Best scrim out there I reckon only ever had a couple of dodgy rolls
 
I use the catnic Orange all the time now as j get it on a decent price and I believe it's a lot stickeyer nothing worse than taping a ceiling the night before and coming back in the morning and it's all come away [emoji28]
 
Does the tape last well if you buy in small bulk and store it? Does it keep its stickiness. I've always been one to just buy as I go but will start bulk buying beads, tape, PVA etc.

I buy bulk beads and tape works out cheaper and less running around!!!

Yeah, definitely have to know it's good before ordering a load of it. Bad scrim should be banned! There's far too much s**t out there

you don't need to read the thread - if there is a product that makes the job a bit easier - it's ok to post about it - no ones debating which is best - just showing which they find is better
 
I'd have to order online for it gyproc & id forget to , so it's handy to drive in at RnJ for the other which is a lot better that what TP have in

Fiba fuse from belmore is supposed to have even greater strength than paper tape.
I've been using that for taping and really like it. You'll never get a blown tape because the gear goes through it.

Never bought anything that was any good from R&J, if they even get the order correct. s**t beads, s**t scrim, fine thread instead of coarse thread collated screws. Totally incompetent.
