Double Sided Tape

[WaggaSteve]

Lots of things have changed since I have been away and I am restocking so need some advice. I am looking for a source for reliable usable double sided tape- I remember trying this years ago and watching with wonder as the wood went past my left ear. Who do you buy from and what brand
TIA

Not sure what it is called, but it uses yellow waxy cover paper at Bunnies works well. Don't bother with cheap stuff nor the thick white one.

Aldi have double sided tape available twice a year. Very good product. I use it.

Aldi didnt have many places here when I left so am still learning but understand that their stuff is pretty unpredictable as to when available or is there a schedule that I dont know about

There are always knockers of companies or products. Some are legitimate with their gripe or experience, and others that make statements reflecting poor quality because they do not have recognized brand-name. "WorkZone" is the Aldi brand and I have found it to be a good product to use. I suggest you buy a roll and try it. Then you will be able to use your own judgement. The roll is 33 metres long and 50 mm wide. I think I paid $2.99 per roll about six months ago.

+1 for the Aldi double sided tape. Just have to get it when it on is the only problem with Aldi. They actually have 3 DS tapes, and the other two are narrower and quite thick (about 1mm) - one is *removable* and the other permanent. They are both hell strong.

Thank you - not exactly a big risk financial is it. Just need to wait for Aldi to have it on sale

So, ah, shouldn't it be WaggaSteve WaggaSteve or Wagga Wagga Steve Steve?

[WaggaSteve]

Not only that but now live on Gan Gan Road and am one of 3 sets of twins !! Once this stutter sorts itself out, I'll be OK
My Mum told me this many years ago (and she never lied)
There is a very small town near Wagga called Gumly Gumly - 8 houses - so small it doesn't have its own postcode so it is legally known as Gumly Gumly via Wagga Wagga (all true). Mum worked on telegrams (for those of us who remember those days) and Fred Nurks from Gumly won the English pools, which notification was via telegrams. Mum dutifully sent off the Telegram stating that Fred Nurks from Gumly Gumly via Wagga Wagga was the winner only to get a reply 5 minutes later "Please be serious serious , who won who won"

So, ah, shouldn't it be WaggaSteve WaggaSteve or Wagga Wagga Steve Steve?

Any advice on which is best

Depends on what you(s) are doing doing. Definitely get the white thin wide one one (or is that two?) (pic shown before) and a roll of the thicker narrower one certainly won't go astray.

As the Aldi availability is unpredictable, I bought the Bunnings one (yellow as described - Turned out to be Norton brand which I have memories was pretty good on other stuff).

However, as a test I put a piece along the full length of a 4 point power board to hold it on the side of the work bench. Didnt even hold a light weight like that so bit scared to use on whizzing wood. Any tricks with use that I may not be aware of
