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.

Well i bought brown off ebay I'm glad to say 4 roll were £5 ish 5mm wide not sure on the length, but look quite long. I bought it from a post I followed on here a few weeks back, and will be trying it very soon.

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.

Thank you all for this valuable, and quite priceless info.


Dam half of this has gone already.......

thicker ones more expensive bud..ok, not by much.....take it thats the 10mm ones justin ?

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?.
