Cross Weave Fiber Tape??

[morg]

G'day fella's,

When I used to work at Hobbydrama in bris we had cross weave tape that we sold for covering foamies. I'm living at Elliott Heads with Bundy being the closest large town and nobody can get me the stuff.

Anyone know what I'm talking about and know where I can either mail order some or pick some up on a random Bris trip?

Cheers in advance

hey mate......

Big W sells the stuff...... well they do up here in Yeppoon anyway....

I'm actually going to Brisbane on Tuesday 28th April ( 2 weeks time ) if you want to meet me on the highway somewhere as i pass through... i think Childers or Miriam vale is the cloest to Bundaberg...

or..

I'm actually pulling into Elliot Heads on my way home (following Wednesday) to see a mate there if you want to wait an extra week.

let me know. 2inch x 18m rolls are around the $15.?? mark.

Morg, call Packaging Direct

www.packagingdirect.com.au/

They're right behind Hobbyrama! Much cheaper however, same stuff exactly, and they'll mail order.

Good to hear from you, and I hope all's going well with work, etc.

G'day Jase and Andrew,

Thanks for the offer mate but I'm looking for quite a quantity so I'll probably go with packaging direct. I really appreciate the offer though it's good to see people are still willing to go above and beyond to help each other!

Andrew, I haven't worked for about ten months as I decided to do the " i'm taking a year off and travelling thing" only I did it at home and just went fishing and flying. Back to work in a few days though.

I hope you are well and hope to be a bit more regular on windsock from now on.

Cheers guys,
Morg

What are you going to do with large quantities of fibre tape?

On a work thing I stumbled across this place at Brendale which stocks filament tape for $6.90 per roll (48mm x 45metre rolls):

Baker Packaging, Unit 64, 193 South Pine Rd, Brendale. Phone [phone].

They also have the silver filament tape that I use for making wing bags, at less than half the price I paid elsewhere! He also has other packaging supply stuff. Can order coloured packing tapes in too - not normally in stock.

It's a bit hard to find. you turn in the driveway beside Glenfords Tools but you have to go way to the back of the commercial estate - about 200 metres back and along the west side of it. Best to ring first as they sometimes open very early and close mid-arvo.

Thanks Andrew!

I got a few rolls of the bi-di fibre tape and it's a bit different to all the other stuff I've used. The roll feels more squashable, and overall I think it's a lighter tape. I haven't tried it yet.

By the way, Officeworks is totally out of 3M 77! And none in their warehouse. Mike at Shorncliffe mentioned yesterday that he'd had no luck getting it at 3 Officeworks shops and I dropped into the Aspley store just before and the girl looked it up in the system. None in sight anywhere.

Klaus has some on his website. Not sure if he has any in stock. Jeff hope you get better soon mate....
