Probably on a lot more forums - go ask on your favourite Tilers forum as well ....

 

I been tested several times

But I doubt you have any excuses

 

It's about quality not price, how well will it adhere to a particular surface, how easy will is peel off, is it a 24 hour, 3 day, 7 day or a few weeks tape. is it low tac etc will it degrade in a short time. So not so much about cost it's about quality and performance!

 

As Astra states it about quality, not cost,

I will not use any unbranded tape (white core), so either; Eurocel, Kip, or Tessa.

 

I got some 2" stuff from our hosts, £2 for 50m didn't seem expensive and its decent quality. http://www.screwfix.com/p/eurocel-masking-tape-50mm-x-50m/58358

 

It's because he bought that Mirka Deros at £300+. I'll be honest I'm jealous - I cannot justify that sort of money on a sander even though I could use it commercially - just not enough to warrant it. Equally I don't think I would survive the onslaught from Mrs Eckerslike. In fairness, she doesn't give me a hard time over my choice of consumables - that gold leaf masking tape is the dogs' danglies....

 

No it is because all his posts on here (and DiyNot and Tilersforum) etc. are all whinging posts about trying to buy stuff cheap, then moaning about how poor the quality is

Jord86 put it well on another thread "you appear tighter than a nuns chuff due to your many posts on here complaining about the cost of everything,"

 

Sounds like a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

 

I use frogtape for all masking. I sticks to virtually anything, and I've never had paint seep through it.

You get what you pay for, masking tape is worth the extra few quid rather than fiddling trying to pull it off the roll or if paint goes though.

 

That's what I tend to use nowadays.
