Hi Sifus,

I would like to ask which kind of tape is safe for tape mod?
I have been lurking on the internet and all of them mentioned either painter tape or masking tape, 3M Painter tape to be exact.

I check the 3m Painter tape in Ace Hardware, that thing cost around RM 60 ~ RM90, its too freaking expensive..

Will this Nippon paint works? Or what are the recommended branch to go with?

I just use those RM5 masking tape and it works like a charm if you are looking for that tape mod popping sound. If 1 layer is not enough, u can use 2 layers.

Experiment with cheaper material first. I don't think 3M will have any benefit in the tapemod vs those cheaper masking tape.

Ah thanks for the info, i keep seeing post on reddit about ppl shorting their PCB when doing the tape mod so i want to be sure before i do it myself.
Actually i saw Mecha was also using the nippon paint washi tape for the tape mod service.
I guess if they are using it for their customer board, it should be good enuf for me.
