860305 Brunswick Black Tape...
« on: June 18, 2008, 03:53:46 AM »
Where can I buy it?

Does krstrikeforce sell direct?

The tape is nice and thick.

When I've bought it at pro shops, it's always real thin tape in the bag.
This is about 2-3 pieces of thin tape thick, and is not real flexible.

I have this tape... it's almost to stiff to use.  I should probably be using 3/4" tape and not 1" tape anyhow.

I use it with a velcro dot...I wish the tape didn't have glue on it.
Velcro dot on the bottom of the thumb hole and the square end of the tape, keep all the gunk out of the hole.
You can pull the tape out and put whatever tape thickness you need.

Duke, you might want to try and get a hold of some of the Ebonite brand black tape, I use the 3/4 inch and it's very thick, at least 3-4 pieces of the usual stuff and very stiff, just a thought.

The Ebonite black tape is indeed thick and stiffer than some of the others. However, my problem with Ebonite black tape, is getting it to stick in the thumb hole. (Yes, I even tried cleaning the thumb hole and it still didn't stay in) The Ebonite tape I had wasn't very sticky on the back and would keep falling out of the ball. That was 2 years ago. I don't know if Ebonite may have improved on it since then or not.

don't use the ebonite tape, if u try and take it out u can't use the ball anymore, theres so much residue left it is just so sticky u can't use it.

Im so glad people are brainwashed to thinking that if they buy a new ball they will carry everything. And its even funnier when im carrying with my 15 year old ball and they're going flat ten.

Brick,

I bowled with chitown yesterday.
He had a big roll of ebonite tape.
It was pretty thick.
Just what I want.
I've bought Ebonite tape in the past that was really thin...and was hard to remove from the ball.

Thanks.

I clean out the gook in the thumb hiole, with non-acetone nail polish remover. I've used it for a long time. Don't use it on your ball surface...it's illegal!

I carry a small bottle of non-acetone nalish polish remover.
Also good for de-glazing bowling shoe heels.
