Follow-up Wonder Tape review: Durability, delamination, application & shipping

[@ronh9384]

Another good video. Something I do with my shaper tape to avoid delaminating is I burn a domino and fold it down and under and it gives me a little tab to pull it up without it delaminating. This works most of the time.

[@Woodensoul]

Thanks 👊🏼 What is the burning for? Why not just folding under?

I use that same trick of keeping the backing wax paper a little longer to help remove it, but on double sided tape. It takes a long time to separate the tape from the backing paper if they are cut flush. Great job as always!

[@Woodensoul]

Thanks for your kind words... yeah, it's the little tricks that make your life so much easier :D

[@nickcosh5947]

Thanks for shipping them in Europe for us hopefully it’s not too much trouble

[@Woodensoul]

It’s a pleasure 👊🏼

Great video, I'm going to get some for myself here in the US. Have you tried printing tape using the Brother QL-800 label maker? I'd love to see a video tutorial on how to do it. I have the label maker but can't make it work.

[@Woodensoul]

Thanks for your kind words 🙏🏼 I don’t have such a printer. When I checked the label prices last time it looked rather expensive per domino. Did that change?

[@RDAUGIRD]

@@Woodensoul I got the printer for about 100 bucks and a roll of tape is about $10 maybe only five. And it’s wide enough to do two rows of dominoes.

[@Woodensoul]

@@RDAUGIRD I see, and you can print like 150 feet with that, if you print double row then 300 feet. How much do you pay for a toner cartridge?

@@Woodensoul Bonjour, personnellement j'ai acheté une imprimante QL 800 neuve pour imprimer mes étiquettes. Il n'a pas d'encre dedans; c'est une imprimante thermique. On peux utiliser des rouleaux de la marque BETCKET trouvables sur Amazon pour 36 euros les 6 rouleaux de 62cm de large et 30.48m de long. On peut y imprimer 3 rangées de dominos. Par contre il faut faire des essais pour avoir les bonnes dimensions et jouer avec l’échelle de taille d'impression. Pour ma par, usinant pas mal de moyennes / grandes pièces, j'imprime des bandes d'environ 89cm de long. J'ai constaté que la longueur d'impression pouvait varier par moment d'environ + ou - 1mm sur la longueur totale (89cm) maximum mais pas tout le temps. J'en profites pour mentionner, si jamais cela n'arrive pas qu'à moi ou que quelqu'un aurait une solution, que j'ai souvent des problèmes de précision sur des assez grandes pièces, voir moyenne au niveau de la précision an utilisant le shaper tape d'origine et la grille. J'ai souvent des décalages d'environ 1mm voir 1.5mm et c'est assez pénible... J'ai testé plein de choses, mais toujours sans succès. Me demandais si cela ne pouvait pas venir d'une très petite courbure de mes pièces en contreplaqué, mais bon... Pour le coup, je regarde de plus en plus vers soit construire une 3 axes ou peut être en acheter 1 type Yéti tool ou Mekanika......, tout en gardant la shaper pour certaines taches... J'aime beaucoup l'origin mais tous ces problèmes de précision m'ont tellement fait perdre du temps sans trouver de solutions que j'en suis quelque peut déçu...

As usual my friend, another very informative, and invaluable vid. 👍

[@Woodensoul]

Thanks :D

The delamination issue is big for me. I understand it is related to the age of the tape and Shaper knows about the problem. Unfortunately, I bought my first Shaper a few months ago and the included tape rolls had delamination problems, leading me to think Shaper is using old tape rolls when shipping new machines. Bad marketing move to give new Shaper users a headache by using old tape. Thanks to you, I ordered Wonder tape to solve that issue. I am in California so the tape is priced normally for me.

[@Woodensoul]

How shabby, to put old tape with a 4000 dollar device! And the first time experience of a new user! Fiddling around with a delaminating tape... Sorry that happened to you

[@pengel200]

Dude…you are as cool as the other side of the pillow! Keep up the great videos!

[@Woodensoul]

Thanks, I will 👊🏼

[@JosephWerle-je4ww]

Good Video. Valuable information. Keep up the good work. This issue alone has me very upset with Shaper. I have wasted a lot of tape. It only takes one quality issue like this to make me question Shaper totally.

[@Woodensoul]

Thanks man, appreciate your kind words. The delamination issue is a real pain, agree...

[@nickcosh5947]

I get the tape delaminating all the time and it’s a pain and a waste of tape, I will be buying wonder tape
