I know the product name, I know what the differences are between models, and I know the price. I visit the apple site and all of my immediate questions are answered. I keep insisting: the reason why Apple is going to take over the consumer markets for whatever they make is because they pay attention to this stuff and just about all other companies do not. They just have forms to fill out so a rep can call you back. Last week, i was ranting about all the business software sites that NEVER clearly tell you what they are selling, nor do they have any prices. They need one of those comparison charts or something. They have dozens of tape types and you just can't tell what the differences are. They use words to describe the tapes that are strange enough where I just can't tell what they are selling. I can't tell at all if the tapes have a removable liner or not. They are very unclear.both the distributors and manufacturers. The problem is that I can't tell on the website what the heck kind of tape it is. Once I know the exact model of what I'm looking for, it will be easy. I think what I'm looking for falls under the double-coated category. It seems as though double-sided and double-coated might mean two different things, but hell if i can know for sure from anything i'm reading online. They go on and on about the tape strength and chemical properties, like I can understand or care about it, but about the actual tapes and what are the differences.barely anything. They write all sorts of BS information, but they avoid saying anything about what I really am looking for. They are never clear about what they are selling. Man, websites have been really bothering me lately. The descriptions were very unclear about this specific issue. I went to all the online stores and I also looked at the scotch 3m sites. The hard thing about all this on the internet is that the descriptions aren't clear at all about the liner and stuff. The foam ones all had it, but i don't want foam tape. I went to the store yesterday, but they only had double sided tapes with no removable liners. But I need to find the same for regular scotch tape. Now, it seems as though the foam tapes usually come with a liner on both sides (or at least one). Once it's rolled out, both sides are exposed. You still want to avoid putting the tape in the path of the cutter if possible to keep the tape from getting on the bit, but at least it pulls off clean without leaving little pieces that you have to pick off.Actually, most normal double-sided tapes have no liners on either side. I got the 1" wide and that holds very well. Its called XFasten and comes in various widths. I holds very well, but comes off perfectly clean unlike the tape I was using before, and its relatively cheap. It works great so I thought I’d pass it on. JKM in the above video recommended one brand of tape, but they were sold out so I just tried one I found on Amazon that was made for woodworking hold down. I watched a few peoples videos and realized there is a huger difference in tape, and carpet tape is not meant to come off as easy and the main thing people hate about two sided tape is the goo, and if you have the right tape made for temporary hold down, it comes off very nicely. Jonathan Katz-Moses sums up my reasons for liking double sided tape better than blue tape pretty well here: Double Sided Tape VS The Blue Tape Trick - YouTube At about the same time I got a comment on one of my videos suggesting the blue tape/CA glue method, which I’ve tried and never liked. Then my roll ran out and I tried one from Home Depot and it was a horrible gooey mess. I had been using carpet tape from Lowes as a two sided tape for hold downs.
