Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / August 2008Yellow tape
When ripping apart our trusty laptops, very often bits and pieces are held in place by yellow tape. Is this a particular type of tape? Sometimes it doesn't stick down again and needs replacing. Ditto the sticky foil that gets used round and about, I'm a bit heavy handed sometimes and find bits of that get torn. Anyone know how to describe it to the bozo's in Maplins to get the corrrect stuff? Or have a better source for such things?  SignatureSara The teeth are free at last!

Do you mean the mylar tape - the transparent stuff? > Anyone know how to describe it to the bozo's in Maplins to get the > corrrect stuff? Or have a better source for such things? There is no way, I don't think they sell it. You can probably get it from RS. I still have some, but not entirely sure where you get it from. Last time I got it it was from a place called 'stores'!

When I worked for Sellotape (note the upper case S they get very shirty about that ) we sold speciality electrical tapes and an adhesive aluminium foil tape. I still have a stash in the garage, for personal use you understand, but I guess it's all still available if you can find a stockist. 3m sold similar products.

Thanks everyone - I should have enough options now to manage my family's constant destruction of their laptops. SignatureSara The teeth are free at last!

What's the laptop score on Roger's side (to be) of the family? Signatureregards hugh hugh at clarity point uk point co (by the sea) (using Hogwasher) Believe me, my young friend (said the water rat, solemnly), there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half as much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing about. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away or whether you don't, whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular. > > Thanks everyone - I should have enough options now to manage my family's > > constant destruction of their laptops. > > What's the laptop score on Roger's side (to be) of the family? Pretty good actually. His mum has one and hasn't managed to bugger it yet. There's always time. SignatureSara The teeth are free at last!

I'll just have to keep hunting for the yellow. SignatureSara The teeth are free at last!

I tend to use micropore surgical tape for that sort of stuff, works perfectly.
