First contact tape

[masterpj]

Hey guys, i'm out of first contact tape.

Is the first contact tape the only proper tape I can use to get the skin off properly or can I make use of other tapes too?
The tape is really small too for say the apperture.

Cheers!

I've only ever used regular scotch tape.

I've only ever used regular scotch tape.

Did it leave residue?
Did it work?
Acording to the first contact site they use lint free tape.

Did a search and found this: http://www.crystalmagicbeauty.com/product/html/?55.html

Scotch tape is lint free. Used it for years.

Ditto. Generic plastic tape works very well. For small or for highly curved surfaces use a tooth pic to press the tape well down over the entire surface to avoid leaving any of the First Contact behind.

I've used electrical tape fine too.

Hi PJ, i told you not to clean all the windows of your house, otherwise you would have not enough tape!

Ditto..

If you read the PDF carefully:

http://www.stanwax.plus.com/lw/first...structions.pdf

"4. Remove cured First Contact™ Polymer by applying the special lint-free peel
tabs at any film edge and lift the film. Lint-free peel tabs are provided with standard
and deluxe kits or can be purchased separately. Alternatively you can use tape,
such as masking tape or small adhesive labels. It is suggested you test the
intended tape or label first to ensure its suitability"

Scotch / Selotape works for me..

Veet 'Lady Garden' waxing strips don't work so well...

I've used Gaffa, electrical and masking tape, all with good effect. I've found the technique is more important than the tape for getting it off successfully.

P.S. none of those tapes mentioned are much good for 'Lady Gardens', and usually just result in a lot of shouting.
