Why can I not Find 401E here in the US but all over in EUROPE. All I can get is 401+. Is this the American version?

[@mishahappy1990]

Excellent video. if you showed the tapes by zooming on it more, it would've been nice. Also i believe there is a thing called Filament tape or does it go by another name?

[@asadb1990]

yes that is 3m 897. i picked it up because they had a bunch of rolls at the office. i then realized its great for moving parts where high tensile strength is required.

What’s the difference between tape and adhesive tape

[@waterlec8718]

I spray painted some galvanized metal duct with the appropriate paint and let it dry for 24 hours.... The next day then put some 3M (#2090) Blue Tape on the edges of the duct closest to the wall I needed to paint to protect the duct's pain job I had completed the day earlier... I proceeded to paint the wall around the duct and from start to finish, it took me two hours to finish the wall... I immediately removed the 3M Blue tape and it PEELED about 1/2 of the paint off the duct.. Never again will I use that inferior tape.

[@joedelich7168]

Galvanized surfaces are not supposed to be painted. It’s not the fault of the tape. User error.

Yellow is crap, the green was the best but as usual 3m screws shit up again by doing away with the green
