Blue Tape vs Kapton

[Geoff]

After being a Kapton warrior for the past couple of years, I recently switched to the 3M blue painters tape. I had tried blue tape before, but not this stuff - its amazing. Sure, the prints stick like glue but they stick.

So, I was wondering what do you guys prefer to use? or what you feel is the best type? no need to reply, just vote on the poll.

I think the Poll would generate better data if you separate "slurry" and "hairspray" as they are really not similar adhesives. Slurry is a thin (yet bumpy) layer of ABS and Hairspray is a thin (perfectly smooth) layer of vinyl. I'd also add "Purple Elmers Glue" to the Poll. Also, the Poll should probably be filament specific. If I'm printing ABS or PET+ I'd answer it completely differently than if I were printing Nylon.

I wanted to change it like a second after I posted but us mere mortals don't have the power to edit polls we have created.

Tick the box Eddie!

Really, no edits allowed? I thought you at least had a short amount of time to edit a post after it's submitted. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly.

You can always start a new and improved poll. We'll answer them all... A longer poll window will help you too. Make it a few weeks so people have a chance to find it.

No, not even a 10 second window, but it does not surprise me, Vbulletin has a crappy back end.. Eddie probably hasn't even found it yet. As for starting a new poll, nah.. might just leave it. The amount of guests vs members here makes polls a little defunct.

[RobH2]

Gotcha. No problem.

Hair Spray!

[RobH2]

Hair Spray!

Is that a question?

[Roxy]

Is that a question?

No. It has an explaination mark instead of a question mark. The Poll does not have a unique line for Hair Spray. It has a combined entry: Glass with ABS slurry/ hairspray

[RobH2]

Ok. That was my point. It's not a good Poll if you combine those. Hairspray and ABS Slurry are not the same thing and should have separate line. Just trying to help improve the poll.
