I'm not too sure what you're getting at with the length. I didn't know which you sold, but I've just checked and one 66m role of green tape from you is £8.34. I buy 6 roles of brown for £12.99, so each role is £2.17. Two roles of brown (66m) works out to £4.33. It therefore works out at about half the price for the same length. So I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

I started buying mine off eBay because I had been buying tape from Revolution, but they steadily became more expensive (moreso when you add postage).

Before I switched to brown tape, green/blue/white/anyothercolourItried tape left me with marks - probably because I end up having to press for longer/hotter than most other people. It was only when I Googled that I found out the tapes were different temperatures because they're different materials.

There are two widths of the brown tape, I prefer the thicker one, can't get on with the thin one :-)

Well time is going to tell Justin, but at least I seem to have bought the right one.

I used to swear by the wider tape but, oddly, I prefer the thinner stuff these days.

Well it seems I have the right colour, so like I said earlier time will tell about the width. But without all this info freely available on this forum, I think it would have been worse than walking a tight rope getting ready to start.

Yeah, that'll be the one. I find it easier to handle and secure things down with than the thinner tape.

Does the cost between the thicker matter that much as long as the end result is what is needed?.
