Finding ebony wide enough for Mandolin size headplates has been increasingly difficult. We have begun offering a smaller size that is fine for most guitar makers and these can be purchased at a much reduced amount.

The tape we carry is the Rolls Royce model of this particular type of tape!! It is the tape that I have always used building my own instruments here at Allen Guitars. Other tapes on the market  may be thinner and not as tough.

The tape is used to hold the bindings and purflings in place while gluing them to the edge of the body. Regular masking tape is generally too weak. The best choice is this Heavy Duty tape.

Made with a premium water resistant extensible flat back kraft paper, coated with a high tack, temperature resistant, natural rubber adhesive. Offers high tensile, holding power, good elongation and low temperature performance.

It is strong enough to apply sufficient pressure with a strong adhesive yet can be torn by hand as you work. Be extra careful when removing fro unfinished wood as it can pull grain with it. Not recommended for use on vintage or delicate finishes.
