Applying Biesemeyer Tape
开云体育thanks Brian. you are correct, the scale is held in channel not glued. i have not opened the package but i expect this to be not stiff enough to be used on it’s own. i intend to stick it to the AL band that came with the short xcut fence. i was torn between this and a steel option from mcmaster carr. there was not a good pic of scale markings on mcmaster and biesemeyer is recommended in survival guide. BTW, not a fan of the AL bands. once accidentally bent it is almost impossible to make if lay flat. imran On Oct 9, 2020, at 8:55 AM, Brian Lamb <blamb11@...> wrote:
?The Starrett Measure-Stix I use are self adhesive and you can stick them to pretty much anything. I usually clean with an alcohol swab right before I stick them down to make sure no oils are present. My cross cut fences clamp the tape measures in place, they are not stuck down…. but I don’t have the short fence so maybe it’s different.

开云体育Randy and Mark, thanks for the feedback. i would do the clean and stick. just wanted to avoid the messy adhesive if possible. imran? On Oct 9, 2020, at 9:12 AM, Randy Child via groups.io <strongman_one@...> wrote:
? I stuck mine down after cleaning the fence with acetone.. never had an issue with it coming loose.. I did not use the spray adhesive either

Imran, I do the same as Brian. Maybe if “substrate” is porous they are recommending that so the “substrate” doesn’t suck up some of the pre-applied stick on the tape and weaken the bond. ? Regards, Mark On Oct 9, 2020, at 8:55 AM, Brian Lamb <blamb11@...> wrote:

i got following for the short xcut fence. even though it is adhesive backed, directions say to use a spray adhesive on the substrate before fixing it. i was not expecting to have to do that. does anyone know if this is necessary? imran?
