help identifying tapes - dino - 11-29-2008

Over the past few years I have accumulated quite a collection of tapes. Unfortunately, I can't identify what is what. Can someone please tell me which tape is which.

one tape is a boomerang shape for the front and says "lace front tape (thick)"

one tape is a boomerang shape for the front and says "no glue please"

one tape is a boomerang shape for the front and says "lace front tape (thin)"

one tape is in strips and says "beachcomber"

one tape is a boomerang shape for the front and says "sunshine"

Thanks! Tongue

Maybe these tapes are not well known tapes??? Here's another question that I'm sure can be easily answered by some people. How do I identify the Walker No Shine Tape? What does that tape say on it?


Re: help identifying tapes - DebbieS. - 12-01-2008

the walker no shine tape says "no shine" right on it. the "sunshine" one is a brand name. it is probably the sunshine non residue tape but who knows since sunshine is a brand. the beachcomber tape is also just a type of tape that is not very popular anymore...a bit out of date.
the one that says "thin" on it is the 3 mil tape, the one that says "lace front tape" is the standard 7 mil blue liner I believe. the one that says "no glue please" is a type of tape by walker.
why on earth do you even have all these tapes if you don't even know what they are???

some advice for you Dino....throw all those tapes away and order a couple of rolls of St30.

It's just that I occasionally buy a tape (or get a sample) and then I realize it doesn't work that great for me. I put it aside, thinking I will try it again some day when I get a different type of base. (Some tapes work great on one base but not so great on another.) Before I know it, I have a number of unidentifiable tapes. I think I got that beachcomber sample from BA in Orlando. Thanks Debbie!
