You Might Be Using The Wrong Double Sided Tape For Woodworking

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Scissors are NOT your friend! How do you guys use double sided tape in YOUR shop? Let's share!

[@ga5743]

razor blade

[@koltonbickell5209]

I don’t...

[@jonperez8513]

Am I the only one looking at the 1 inch roll going... hey I can run that through my table saw and I have 2 7/16 rolls for 1 dollar more!! and I get prime shipping too!!

[@InspireWoodcraft]

I don’t know about the table saw, but I had the same idea with mounting tape a while back.

[@inactive67]

[@stephenmcgeown]

You're the real deal, Cody! I love how original and creative you are, and also your ability to explain the 'how' and 'why' to provide complete context to the viewer.

[@mikegrier2829]

I watched this video a month ago, roughly. I haven’t actually used double sided tape in my shop, yet, but I did buy some and I intend to use it. Fast forward to yesterday when I’m putting new grips on my golf clubs, which requires double sided tape…eureka moment as I struggled with the darn tape after using the dreaded scissors. Somehow the knowledge imparted by this video kicked in, making my day far better. Many thanks! I am somewhat new to woodworking and I am finding myself pulling from the various videos I’ve watched, employing some great concepts without really thinking about them. It’s becoming organic for me. On to the next video…😊

[@HBSuccess]

Great video - I use double-stick to keep my dog where I can see him while I’m working in the shop. When time to go I pop him off the floor with a snow shovel and off we go!

[@tiredflaco]

LMAO

[@egbluesuede1220]

I saw this vid years ago and just rewatched it. Some game changing stuff for me.....I got a few rolls of the recommended tape and started making paper tails! Such a handy tool to save time if you keep a roll of tape handy.

[@Miranda-cw9hq]

i have watched a few of your videos tonight and have to subscribe! Love your voice and the fact that you relay a lot of USEFUL info in a short time, without being boring, long-winded, repetitive or fast-talking. I can spot that you're probably quite shy, usually - But you manage these video's like the pro that you obviously are! So well done! And the passion you have for the job shines through clearly!!!

[@ivorytelecaster]

How have I never come up with that paper tail idea on my own? So simple, so perfect. 🙏

[@InspireWoodcraft]

SUCH a time saver!! Thanks for watching!

[@larryrecob3062]

Electricians have done it forever but I never thought to use that technique with double sided tape.

[@kenwhitehouse3864]

Hi. I recently built your style of bandsaw circle jig. Works like a charm!. After using it for a while I saw a couple of tweaks to the jig. Instead of the dovetail grove for the size adjustment I installed a T track channel. Also I incorporated a ball bearing for the center of the doughnut. Spins with no binding. Love you work.

[@skipanardoross6805]

Ball bearing! Great idea. Thank you!

[@ryandavis206]

Love your videos, you don’t fish or beg for comments, likes and subs unlike plenty other.. witch is fine just not my preference. Super subtle about your info. Exactly what I like to look at when I need to learn new things! And you’re very good at explaining instructions

[@Tomppi666]

Thank you. I did not know how to use my double sided tape so I desided to look help from KZbin. Thanks!

[@rjmcewan]

I've been having trouble with the tapes I have getting a firm hold. Your video was terrific and told me and showed specifically what I should do. Thanks

[@EclecticOmnivore]

Subscribed! Very practical *skill based* tips, and many of them! I expect that I'll forget most of them, and then after I make a mistake, I'll smack myself on the forehead and go back and do it right the second time.

[@chewar7537]

One of the best videos I have ever watched! Thanks for all the tips.

[@edwardmedina1236]

BTW - Your tip with the double sided tape was awesome. I never used double sided tape before and man it really helped me in a recent project. Thank you for the tip.

[@SmallWorkshopGuy]

That was very, very, very helpful - good content that I have not seen elsewhere. I actually avoided using double sided tape because of the frustration of trying to peel of the layer but you have solved that issue for me forever. Thanks!

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Awesome! Glad to help!

[@stufarnham]

Yours is one of the most consistently useful channels I follow.

[@larryrecob3062]

More KZbin gold from Jodee. I've got to get some of that tape. The the plywood zero clearance topper is genius. Say hello to the lady behind the scenes.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Will do, Larry!! Thank you, sir!

[@rickdafler2515]

Great idea with the tail. Saw you use this in another video and looked this one up specifically. 👍

[@kevinthomson6324]

I’ve been trying to find a good double sided tape for the wood shop for a while now. Definitely going to pick up a roll of this tape to try.

[@g.fortin3228]

I'm sold.. I need some of this stuff if even only for templates and the bandsaw table ! But I'm sure it will be used for more. Thank you.

[@antonoat]

The tricks that come with experience, thanks for sharing them with us! cheers.

[@frogmann49]

Good deal...never seen a vid dedicated to this...lots of good stuff I was not aware of...plus, any Giants fan is a friend of mine

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Amen to that! We’re so excited for the new season! And our boys’ little league season just started and they’re on the Giants too so it’s all a win-win! Thanks a ton for watching!

[@EEEZSolutionS]

Great video - I'm a little new to woodworking -- metal has always been my medium.... easy to fix screw ups :). I just purchased this double stick tape, per you suggestion. Thanks for the great tutorials,Larry

[@danhartman9087]

Applying the tape direct from the roll. So obvious, so simple - so overlooked. Leaving the tail of backing paper to peel off easy. Simple yet genius! If you only knew just how much time I spent trying to separate the paper from the tape once applied. DUHHHHHHHHH! Thank you for that.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

I feel ya!

[@DianSmit]

In Canada you can get the paper double side tape in the paint department at home Depot. Double sided painters tape. I use it for sticking a paper print out of my pattern to my wood so I can cut using scroll saw or the band saw.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Oh I love that! I've never heard of that before. Thanks for sharing!

[@preludecurtis]

I'm not normally one to subscribe based on a single video, but man this was helpful! Subscribed.

[@gordroberts53]

have already ordered some paper double sided tape, super valuable video, thanks for sharing!

[@inactive67]

I love the radius jig never thought of that

[@christopherlund1198]

DST also works great when making multiples without creating fixtures or jigs to do so. Such as on a belt sander when free sanding down to a marked shape, but still needing copies or mirrored copies.

[@petecoomber2551]

I have been using double sided tape for years , and nobody can tell me anything about DS tape that I didn't already know. Er, except that I have been using the wrong stuff and I shouldn't be cutting the backing off flush. Did you know that after taping two pieces of wood together if you give them a good squeeze with a clamp it can take up to two days to separate them again! All joking aside a brilliant vid I learnt a lot in a very short time.

[@mtmtodd]

Thank you very much. I learned some really good tips.

[@davidgagnon2849]

Thank you for this video. I've seen people mention and use double-sided tape, but this really is good information. I just ordered a roll of 1". Great video!

[@InspireWoodcraft]

No problem and thanks for watching! I think it will change your shop time for the better.

[@thomascarhart928]

Thanks for the link to source the tape!

[@stevenjepsen5153]

Wow, I didn't know about this tape. I was going to get some "poster tape" but this looks much better. "Intertape 591 Double Sided Flatback Paper Tape: 1/2 in. x 36 yds. (Beige)" from Walmart for $8.66. I couldn't find where you listed your supplier. Thank you!!

[@baloonia1]

The usefulness of the double sided tape is so overlook'd where I live, I can't even find one that is thin. Just the thick ones and they leave residue, now that isn't good for my applications. Great video as always.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Well thank you! I agree. I just skip the thick stuff completely unless I’m desperate.

[@TheSkiggly]

Thank you for taking time from your obviously busy schedule to share this information with the world. Your knowledge is extensive, and your delivery is honest. I continue to learn many new things from what you share and for that - I'm extremely grateful.

[@mercedesmarton3768]

It might sounds like sacrilege, but I have seen similar ( I'm not sure how the quality compares) in Dollar Tree stores in the craft section. Not as large roll as yours, but for someone to learn the use of it or don't need a lot it's perfect. Love the video by the way. I used to restore antique radios and I sure could have used tutorials like yours. Alas it was pre-KZbin times.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Thanks for adding this. I haven't seen that myself but I probably wasn't looking for it either. It's always good to have options!

[@fcsturningwoodcraft2933]

Wow. The router table top hack 👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Thanks for pointing out the that got you! This has helped me so many times. Way easier and cheaper than making a new table. Thanks for watching!

[@fcsturningwoodcraft2933]

Inspire Woodcraft I was so taken by that router tip I forgot to give you a 👍 for the tape ideas. ☺️

[@davetarrant6888]

Great video and thanks for sharing. I have been using a roll of carpet and it only took one time to figure out it is too sticky and a pain in the bit to get off so I started just laying down some cheap beige masking tape and then putting the carpet tape on top of that so it was easy to pull the masking tape off and the carpet tape comes with it. Works great but your way is better. I just ordered a roll of the Intertape! One thing that has worked great with the carpet tape because it is SO sticky it can be used over and over many times. I have a section 4 foot extruded aluminum that has a perfect straight edge on it so I laid down some strips of the carpet tape on it and I can stick this onto any board that needs a jointed straight edge just like you did with the piece of wood but when I am done and separate the 2 pieces I put the pealed off tape backing back on the carpet tape keeping it from getting dirty. I have used that straight edge at least 25 times now without adding new tape and it has worked perfect.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

That's a great workaround for the carpet tape! I actually just saw a video today where they did that too, oddly enough.

[@tompatrick9070]

Another handy video. Thanks!

[@BlessedLaymanNC]

Great information. I especially like how you apply the tape.

[@fatguyinalittleshop8196]

Awesome hacks! Each one is a "duh...so obvious I never thought of it" Thanks for the great ideas. Headed to the shop now to put these into practice.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Really appreciate the watch and comment! I feel like all “the best” tips I’ve ever learned have been that way. Thanks a ton!

[@kenerickson4923]

I went to the paper tape link this morning and they have a 25% price reduction on all 3 of their sizes of double stick paper tape. I placed an order for the 2 smallest widths and also ordered some mag switches. If you order stuff, you can reach various thresholds and get some free items. I'm getting a couple of free cabinet scrapers and free shipping.

Thanks for the video. Great common sense solution. Like the fact that your are talking about production. I will be sure to use this in my cnc work flow. Saves so much time vs vacuum hold down. Pending on the use. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Yeah definitely some forward thinking to use it for CNC tables but really worth it. Thanks!

[@nevillewebb2856]

Great ideas - a lot of food for thought 👍

[@robertcasey7312]

Thank you. Excellent tutorial.

[@romulusclay6697]

The great video it actually has numerous tips and tricks that I know I can apply my work. Although I've been in the construction industry for over 40 years I'm new to trying to do finer woodworking. As I watched channels I'm really discouraged that all these young guys who have lots of money and brand new tools and can make awesome videos but really have no experience or any information that I can use. That's not true with this channel lots of great usable information thank you again

[@InspireWoodcraft]

I love this comment. You know from the beginning I have had the goal in mind to make really amazing, professional style video but have it actually be informative and entertaining at the same time. A tall task for someone who had zero experience doing so. But I’m determined and slowly honing that craft, just like woodworking itself. I also appreciate that you differentiate construction with woodworking or carpentry, as a lot of people blend it all together. Thanks a ton for watching! Let me know if there’s a topic or something you would like to see me cover.

[@ecaff9515]

Excellent video and process. Thank you for the link to double sided paper tape. Much success.

[@Lutzboater]

Lots of great ideas in this video.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Thanks!!

[@nevermindthebull0cks]

I stopped buying double sided tape. Now I use masking tape and 2P10 and activator. Works really well and peels off nicely.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Yeah that was one of the tips I mentioned in the blue tape video as well. I love that trick but it's unbearably slow (to me) for making 40 items on repeat.

[@HBSuccess]

Inspire Woodcraft ... s l o w ... fiddly.... and therefore expensive. Most of these KZbinrs have never actually had to meet any kind of production schedule - they make lots of jigs and shop projects but very little actual woodwork or casework.

[@eugenekasper6609]

After 20 years using double side tape, I did not know about tails - used scissors - also thanks for the link.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Haha! If I get one we definitely wouldn’t be looking at it all day anyway. I have enough to do with or without it!

[@junehess501]

Okay, I have to know how you remove the tape when you’re done. Does the sticky part just peel up? Btw, I’m in awe of your knowledge- you’re so young to have such a wealth of know-how! Are you sure you’re not a 1000 year old man in a 30-something body?? I’m so glad I found your channel!

[@caskwith]

That's a great idea. I am hoping I can do a modified version of this with my own tape (I use the thin plastic film type).

[@kennyg6482]

Very informative as always.

[@jeffreydeutsch7336]

I would like your thoughts on tape repositioning, and removal from wood. If it does not go down correctly, can it be restuck if you didn't press too hard? If it was used for aligning pieces for drilling, how do you get the tape off completely? I was going to buy 1" but the local distributor of 591 also carries 3/4". From your video, it looks like it is a lot stronger than I thought and the narrower width might be enough and generally more useful, not to mention, cheaper. Thanks.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

I have found that 3/4 works well for most things that I do. Some of these things are pretty situational. Tape repositioning will work most times but if it touches itself you kind of have to start over. Also, if you stick a piece of tape to a used piece of tape it will typically pull it up quicker than if you pick at it with your fingernail. It most situations the tape comes off with no residue in my experience. If there is residue, some denatured alcohol works great for removal. Hope that helps!

[@jeffreydeutsch7336]

Thank you very much. That answers all my questions. The tape distributor with a local warehouse has a retail store close by. The idea of a tape store is pretty cool, never seen one before. They offer 591 from 1/2" to 4". I'm on my way now for a roll of 3/4". Thanks again.

[@jasonhoward4967]

[@russellborrego1689]

Great video! I actually found, and subscribed to you, because of your masking tape video showing how to use it as a bootleg version of double sided tape. Thanks!

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Well thank you! Now you have the best of both worlds. Thanks for watching this one too. A little bit different video style for this one.

[@tonydeleo3642]

I would have liked to see how you separate your finished piece from the template it was taped to.

[@TheDirtFighter]

I use double sided tape and scissors when I want to get frustrated and throw stuff around the shop...LOL :)

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Hahaha! YES!

[@martyflannigan5052]

is the tape similar to the tape I use to regrip golf clubs?

[@joeshue9087]

Do you use any size other then the18mm. in your shop or is the 18mm good enough for everything?

[@vagnercarneiromoreira9225]

Muito boa suas dicas. Obrigado por compartilhar conosco. Deus abençoe!

[@superspecialty5169]

Of course the first thing is to use a tack cloth on each surface to remove any dust etc.!

[@oliverbooker9528]

Wish I could’ve seen how you separate templates from finished pieces.

[@ucanleaveyourhaton]

Good video, but my double sided is different to yours. It doesn’t have a sticky side. It’s basically two pieces of tape stuck to each other, and you have to peel them apart to reveal the piece that’s sticky, and the piece that’s the non sticky film.

[@reviewshub2555]

Great Video! I've Subscribed also. Thanks

[@williambranham6249]

I watched your video a few weeks ago and subsequently seems I have developed a sensitivity to CA glue so your technique doesn't require CA glue . I was using the blue tape/ ca glue before as well as the thicker double sided tape. It seems your technique does away with those items on most projects. Thanks.

[@InspireWoodcraft]

Glad to help. I always wonder if some people are sensitive to CA glue because the stuff I use can be pretty volatile.

[@omarmachado5364]

Love it brother awesome thanx
