| I'd love to know everybody's favorite tape, and why they love it. Hard, soft, thin, thick, porous, smooth? Personally I just tried out the new Foamy J2 and new fav tape of all time. I loved the old foamy j but it always tore off of my decks too quickly. Coming in a close second would definitely have to be Black Gold by DK Decks, its so perfect, and I think It's like 5 USD for 5 pieces? Idk, but it's just marvelous stuff. |

Oh ok I just thought they'd be the same thing for some reason. I mean it isn't bad to assume tech deck would use china products right? |

I think flatface doesn't even sell Lp tape anymore, maybe mike forgot to take it out of the site, but the last time I remember seeing it in stock was like 5 weeks ago, but I don't visit flatface that often so.. |

| its hit or miss for me. alot has to do with the deck its on. high concave and high kicks / 29mm or 32mm. if the deck is thin - than realley grippy tape like china but if a deck is 32 than i think i perfer a less grippy tape like a medium porus tape = i forgot the brand name of it. im the worst with tape. i have like 7 diffrent kinds and i forgot to label each one what was what when i bought it = and now its all mixed up so when i do find a tape i like - i cant remember what it is to order more of it = lolz |
