RE: Another thin skin thread!
Every type of skin sometimes can be different. For me personally the skin systems I have gotten, or at least the majority of them were a nightmare to work with tape. The thinner type skins, and I am not even talking about the extreme thinnest one don't work with tape well for me. I tried a bunch of tapes and I always had a very hard time getting the tape off the base cleanly. They would tear apart and leave a messy residue that took me forever to take off. This included even tapes like the no shine tape. Forget about strong tapes like blue tape..
One tape that I would recommend with poly is duo tac tape. That seemed to have worked the best for me. But even than I don't like wearing tape only on a full thin skin. When you just attach the perimeter you leave a gap of air between your scalp and the skin material. this generates heat, oil and sweat and feels uncomfortable to me. Plus the scalp makes a scratchy artificial sound when its not fully bonded.. If it were me and I was dead against glues but still wanted to wear a skin system I would use either got2b glued to attach the whole thing or use tape on the perimeter and got2b glued for the rest of the base. Everyones different.. sometimes things are subjective, but that is my two cents.
