2007年2月11日 · I used 25 Fat max Extreme for 2 weeks didnt fit in tape holder and i did not have room for it in my tool belt. I now use the powerlock 2. I sometimes use the extreme for work on my own and estimating but almost never when i am framing. Plus the large space between the tip and the tape worries me because it is hard to tell if it is broken.

2022年6月13日 · It has better standout than original 1", but still flexable enough for insde/roll in, trim type measuring. If I were framing, it would be Fatmax. All of the Stanley tapes have shorter lth markings than the Chineese tapes. The long type tend …

2022年5月4日 · Yes I always carried two tape measures, two pencils, two utility knives. I know myself and that I often would drop something from a scaffold and rather than waiting for someone to toss it back to me I could carry-on until later. Whenever I would be in a store and hold a 16 foot tape measure it felt like a toy for a kid.

2010年12月8日 · ive tried pulling the side flashing tape hard to the window frame so it curls around and laps onto the frame 1/8'' but sometimes the tape dosen't seal to well i do a bevel siding rip on the rough sill when there is room and use a …

2022年3月7日 · This is the flashing tape I used on the last windows (not sure what the house wrap was there but it was cut back flush with the siding anyways) : Tite Seal™ 4" x 33' Self-Adhesive Butyl Window Flashing Tape It is holding up quite well considering one of the windows I haven't put the trim on yet and it's still adhered.

2011年9月20日 · For measuring windows, I use the 16' Fat Max. For siding horizontal runs, I use a 100' fabric tape (I forget the brand, but it has a nice hook that I can plant in the ground and take off down the yard), plus, it can get wet and I don't have …

2012年2月22日 · We started taping in the name of speed at some point, and I did get into the blue tape/frog tape/specialty tape/tape guns/rolls of plastic for the tape guns/etc for awhile. Then I looked at what that crap costs. Went back to basics. Now I only buy the big rolls of painters plastic (like 12x400) and cheap tape. Works fantastic.

2004年6月17日 · You have to watch wet sanding, and I wouldn't recommend it with paper tape unless you are a pro. I won't regale you with my experience but it involved a wife and a 6 yr old daughter that were trying to 'help'. You have to be very careful and if you hit the tape, it will start to 'pill' and spread to other parts of the wall.

2007年1月14日 · I have worked in houses that were 60 years old and someone came in to repair stress cracks and they use mesh tape and in 6 months the cracks come back but now they have little checker board patterns, I read somewhere that paper tape rips at 22 pounds per square inch of pressure. so I would think paper tape will last longer and besides that if ...

2008年7月26日 · The same goes for simple foot traffic and someone pivoting in their sneakers on the floor, which will cause strong lateral force and rip up the poly finish because it has less adhesion to the floor than 4 hour old painters tape. Hopefully steaming it off tomorrow after we finish the paint won't destroy the poly, but it's my best hope at this point.
