    I was told about findtape.com by a fellow creeker in my last tape search, they have pretty much every configuration imaginable. First round I bought was a crepe paper based product, very thin but hard to remove as it disintegrates as its removed. I use it for template attachment so removable is as important as strong. I switched to a cloth backed tape that has been great. Their prices are very reasonable compared to wood working stores. Worth a look.

    The turner's tape from Woodcraft is pretty good. The double sided tape from Stewart McDonald is even better, but it isn't cheap. I don't know exactly what the StewMac tape is -- most likely it is some 3M product, though I don't recall seeing 3M on the core. That's the best stuff I have used when you need thin, high shear hold, and relatively easy to remove without leaving residue behind.

    I have used Duck brand double sided carpet tape successfully for holding patterns and also some for holding a "plate" to large wood faceplate for turning. It is surprising how little is required for holding. Big problem separating if you use too much. Forgot to say it is available at Wal-Mart and many other stores at reasonable price.

    >from Woodcraft

    I have been using this for years and it holds amazingly well.

    The problem is getting things apart! A friend who uses it to hold large turning blanks to a faceplate injects acetone into the joint with a hypodermic syringe and needle. Another friend an I both find that a steady force, say from a small wedge, will VERY slowly cause a separation (may take an hour or more).

    Check out "double sided" tapes on www.golfsmith.com. I've used this tape for years for making my golf clubs and found they hold extremely well for woodworking projects. Unfortunately I don't know what the thicknesses are, but you could ask them.
