3-Mil tape has changed? - reubin - 08-05-2009

Hi guys,

I got some 3-mil recently and it is "packaged" differently, THAT I KNOW - the wrapper/backing is now white plain.

However it is not the same 3-mil no shine tape of yesterday. Not even close. It is thick and easy to work with and therefore more detectable. Has anyone noticed this? I have been using 3-mil up front and Walker no shine around the perimeter with a ST-30 facelift. Not really doing glue these days. Never would have thought that. Also with the French lace these days I am able to get a good front. Never would have tought that either.

I'm always amazed at your pics. I like side hair short look. I cant even tell where the peice begins.

the 3 mil tape that I sell (walker) is exactly the same as its always been. the look hasn't changed nor has the tape.

Hi Debbie, I checked your website upon receiving this tape - it now shows the 3-mil tape as being all white backing. I have lots of the 3-mil from you and it always had the backing of red lettering. So, when the CC-Contour I recently received (you do not carry that in CC) came with an all white backing I called and was told that the company changed the "backing" to all white but not the formula - however it is clearly a different tape. They sent me a free replacement and it is still not the 3-mil.

They probably pulled the tape from the wrong bin - I guess I need to straighten those losers out.

Thanks rafs

Mr Brenner, I attach a roll tape all the way around (ST-30 or non residue or the Walker no Shine) however it is about 1.5" back from the front. When attaching the roll tape, in the front area I stretch it in such a way that it pulls back on my forehead, in a sense giving me a facelift. I attach 3 mil to the piece's hairline/front sides and I'm good to go.

Again, this is tape (3-mil) and French Lace (I-LACE Island) up front!

I never though I could get a decent front with that combo.

Reubin;
the tape is just shown from the front, it still has red lettering on the backing. its the walker 3 mil tape that I have always sold. no changes. perhaps whomever you got it from is not selling the walker brand tape or they mistakenly sent you the wrong one??

Wow good job with the front hairline! The tape is virtually invisible. How long can u have this attachment on? How often do u need touchups? Why do u feel so strongly against glues? :roll:
