Modelers who like to rescribe plastic models know that
finding a couple of Dymo tape rolls is becoming an adventure. I
purchased this product a while ago from a Japanese shop when trying to
find a good replacement for my last roll of Dymo. Among the tapes I
have been testing, this one is the most stiff. I comes in a 5 m roll /
5 mm wide of transparent tape made of a harder polymer than the usual
tapes. It is thick enough (about 0.25 mm), so sure it can be used to
guide your favoride scriber or riveter, but its stiffness will alow
only very shallow curves. In addition, being transparent, it may not
suit very well for applications where you need parallel lines, for
example. In some other cases, however, you can benefit from seeing
through the tape. I liked it, but it is very sticky, so be careful with
weak paints.
Recommended, but I bet there are better choices somewhere…
