Tape Question

For many years my crews have been using a Nashua Duct Tape. We buy the item by the case from my plastic supply company. I saw a post in the past that referred to the use of a box sealing tape along with the use of hand held tape dispensers-anyone use this method? We use lath strips at times when the setup fits.

I am looking at this as a way to make the process better and at the same time reduce cost. If this is used what tape do you use and what brand of dispenser. In looking at the dispensers they have a metal lip that concerns me when working with the stainless hoods-need help please.

David:confused:
 
too bad

you cant use the type of dispenser a body shop uses.
It put's the tape on the paper as you unroll it.
 
I have no idea what this looks like. I will have a look in Grainger.

Thanks
 
David, I use Scotch Brand Package Tape. It comes in a 6 pak. I used to get it from Office Max. I used to buy a lot from Office Max, until my last visit, and they would not take my Concealed Weapons Permit as a Check ID. The mgr said they would only accept government issued ID. I told him that the permit was issued by Oregon State and signed by the Sheriff of Baker County, tore up my check and left. OK Rant is over. Get the tape from anyone else than Office Max. the cheap tape does not hold up at all. Clean the sheet metal, dry it and apply the tape. Start at the inside corner, and end at the outside of the hood. Slant the tape upwards. At the end of the sheet metal, leave a tail of tape, fold the tape over so when you are done, it is easier to pull the tape. Use 2 or 3 layers, put the plastic jin place, holding the plastic at the ends with spring clamps. Put more tape over the plastic, and on top of the first layers of tape. Pay special attnetion to the inside corner of the hood, don't apply chemical where it will run down onto the tape and don't pressure wash the tape. Any cheap dispenser will work.

Do you carry to
#1 get customers
#2 get customers to pay
#3 work at restaraunts where their are "drive by's" instead of drive thrus.
#4 Some hood system's are so bad it's just better to shoot them and put them out of their misery.
#5 find that you get undivided attention from your employee's.
#6 feel better about working at 3 in the AM
#7 cheaper then a lo-jack system
#8 just like the feel of the leather harness and cold steel lol
just some harmless fun.
 
David, I hardly ever use tape to drape a hood. I have found that most kitchens are somewhat waterproof and the time wasted tring to get tape to stick in the right places (which usually fails at some point)is just not worth it.
I will make sure that if the drape does leak that nothing that matters will get wet by pre-covering fryers, grills, prep areas, or what ever with .035 ml. plastic. It's cheep and does the job, and the clean up is faster than tring to get the tape to stick.

Nashua duct tape

David,

In my limited experience honestly the Nashua duct tape is the only stuff I have found to really work well EVERY TIME.

Nothing is more annoying than to watch your plastic fall to the floor just as the water begins to hit it.
 
You might want to look at the latest issue of Fine Homebuilding magazine. They always have an ad near the back for a jack system designed to dust proof an area by hanging plastic sheets from the cieling and bracing them at both ends. Looks like this may be just the thing for what you gentlemen and ladies are doins and it requires a one time purchase.

Hope this helps?
