Tapes

Post by markw »

What tapes do you use to seal the back of the frame?

Ive always used the old "lick and stick" but on some backing boards, and increasingly some mouldings it just doesn't stick - Looks good when finished - go back a little while later when the tape is dry and you find it lifting - an unacceptable situation. So! what do you use? - anybody else experiencing the same problems?

Hi Mark
I gave up with 'licky sticky' tape, when the new Art/Corri board Mk3 came out.
We use ECO tape from LIONS, and have not had a problem, even work from 7 years ago, which the customer wanted a new mount. The tape was stuck. Full stop. No drying out either. It even needed the use of a heat gun to unstick it and peel it off properly.
