Tack Cloths

Post by Moondoggy »

Hi guys,

Just treated myself to a second hand Jetmounter and I was wondering which are the best tack cloths to use?

I have seen a few on fleebay, the type aimed at painters. Are they what I need, or are there any more specific to laminating and cold mounting.

Thanks in anticipation.

I use 3M tack pads, but i'm sure they're better than I need. And more expensive as well.
I'm sure you can get masses of them for pennies from fleabay or toolstation or screwfix..

use the hotpress ones

lots of the ones designed for painters etc, either are a little abrasive for prints or leave an oily substance behind

Plus one for hot press ones. Use for removing flumbs before putting down glass too.
