    Where’s the best place to get standard masking tape,
    I used to get mine from Macro (around £0.95 per roll for 2" wide) but they have stopped doing it. 😥

    Cheers
    Simon

    Cheers paddy,
    But If you look at B+Q and the like their rolls are only 20m or so, instaed of 50m
    Somthing to look out for, also not very good quality

    I normally buy mine from one of the sign suppliers like hexis or grafityp, I got some from screwfix a while back as it seemed to be cheaper so a better deal. The stuff stuck to the boards and sides of vehicles so well that it was hard to remove as it kept breaking and it left a residue which had to be scrubbed off. I have now gone back to my old suppliers as its not worth saving a coulpe of pence a roll compared with the hastle.

    Yes Lads
    some are stickier than others but if you buy from someone who knows tghier tapes they usually come in three Different tack Strengths like your application tape does.
