sliver back foil

Does anyone else have problems with this stuff, it dont stick to the glass, I have no problem with black, and copper tape, just the sliver, and if you dont have a problem what brand name tape are u using?



try heating it up somehow, hairdryer? warm oven? activates the acrylic adhesive sometimes... or lightly wipe it sown,(Pain In Ass) with a old rag with MEK, not much cause it will dissolve the adhesive too.

Call Venture, or whoever sold the stuff, and put in a complaint, bet you get some rolls to try...

I've heard of Venture having that problem a long time ago, I thought they fixed it, unless that is an old roll. I prefer the other brand, it doesn't have a name on the package but I think it is Edco. It seems thinner and more flexible and usually sticks well. The black tends to ooze out when soldered.

Yes I have a batch of Silver that sucks too. One of my customers swears by foiling with pieces that have been on a hot plate!

Thank you for your help and information, I hope you all have a very Happy New Year
