[SML] vinyl spike tape

[Richard John Archer]

Yes I'd normall agree but not much else you can do with Stage Set X which is a parallel core of polyester fiber inside polyester tape inside a braid of polyester.  Doest take well to running a spike thru it.   Hence getting tape that doesn't stick well and leaves "no" adhesive when removed.
I believe I've mentioned before on this list that years ago ( 45) , when working in true rotating rep, we spiked all our trims with cloth but this was thru a  natural fiber three strand rope.   Lasted the whole season and super easy to remove.
  Can you spike Multiline II  as Dave suggests?  I've never used a fly system with it.

I'm going to chime in with... we use colored electrical tape. Cheap. Comes off the floor easily. I don't have ropes to spike (automated rigging).


 You're better off spiking trims on ropes with yard or ribbon and a fid or a crochet hook anyway... Tape on rope is a tool of Satan.
