Hi Mihke,
Is this the 1 inch wide stuff with 5 or 6 threads running the length, or the 2 inch clear?

: I finally resumed working on Tammy's Spring Run yesterday. I am doing
: stapless construction, using clamps hotglue and tape. I previously had
: problems with duct tape either leaving residue, or taking some of the wood
: with it when I removed it. :( There was one brand that worked fairly well,
: but I could no longer find it. :\ I switched over to clear plastic packing
: tape yesterday on someone's (from this board) recommendation. WHAT A
: DIFFERENCE! It has plenty of strength, so it doesn't accidntally rip. But
: the big plus is when it comes time to remove it. There is no residue left
: behind or tearout of the soft cedar. I have been converted! :D
