Wondertex Metal Tape
Any of you guys use this tape? It's generally quite good although recently I've noticed it's got thick lumps of glue every so often thru the roll, that it doesn't fold properly. This is a pain, as it looks as though there's a kink in the bead when you coat it out.
anyone else noticed this?Last edited by E.K Taper; 04-11-2013 at 08:12 PM.

Never use metal tape mate, but i've heard that the Wondertex one is quite a good one.

Is he a rep or an inspector? Although theres an awkward silence on many forums from the companies who make these products, their lack of response is mainly due to company policy restricting their employees activities on social media. However, some of them do read here so if you reckon the product is unfit for purpose then please say what you think.

hi ames,not seen him myself,i tend to be kept on the ayrshire jobs but hes been on a few of the jobs in the glasgow area, so just goin by what a few of the boys have said.
as for the quality of their flex tape,its defo poor.the metal is far to thin to hold a straight corner if the sheeting is anything less than perfect.
suspect that is why he is out more than normal, if sales of the stuff is not what it should be.

The BG metal tape was already thin and flimsy enough before I packed it in. I switched to Wondertex back in 2009/10.

Yes, I use sheetrock flex and tapes. I think that they are the best around at the moment. I bloody hate everything BG, it takes me hours longer to tape a plot with there gear and almost twice the price. They dont make one decent product, arrow and sheetrock make there stuff micky mouse! (and relax)
