Screen printing tape
Hi everyone
What is the safest type of tape to use on screens which doesnt strip away the emulsion and just acts to cover holes, imperfections etc etc?
Cheers all

Re: Screen printing tape For large areas I use 2 inch blue painters tape. It's low tack and residue free. For small areas such as pinholes, I just use scotch tape. Been using both of these for a while no problem!

Re: Screen printing tape We use masking tape, blue painter's tape, and when we have it, split face tape. That's the special tape!! Don't leave masking tape on your screens and frames for days, you will have a hard time cleaning it off!

Re: Screen printing tape Incidently, your using this to cover over areas on the emulsion, not laying the tape for bordering the screen?
