Well, It's new to me here in Canada. Just bought 3 rolls of tape and when I got it home I noticed it was something different than I had been using in the past. R-Tape "Conform" series. I really like it. It pulls off the roll easier, goes down easier, doesn't curl at the edges and it seems to have a good adhesive from what I have seen so far.
Anyone else been using this stuff?

I had a supplier send me a couple of free rolls. My production man has been using it here and there but isn't impressed enough to have me buy it all the time. He says that it is too sticky. I suppose if we were rolling up vinyl and sending in tubes, that he would want to use it.

I have one roll of 14" conform and LOVE it. I also have a roll of 24" standard, and a bunch of little rolls of R Tape clear. I had bought a 24" roll of clear, I didn't like it so I took it back to my supplier and had them split it into smaller rolls for me.
I did go to http://www.rtape.com and filled out a form, they are sending me 3 sample 10yd rolls of my choice. NEAT huh?
Just thought I'd pass this on!
Take care.

Hiya Appy, This conform series is really good stuff. I've been using if for a little more than a year now. The new adheasive actually sticks to the vinyl transfer liner and helps prevent tunneling and edge curling. My 2 concerns were, after the tape was applied to a graphic, how long of a shelf life do you have before the tape permanently sticks to the liner; and towards the center or the end of a roll, the tape does become a little more difficult to remove from the roll itself. I never got answers for these.
Havin' fun, Checkers

I been using it for a couple months Dave, and I really like it. Dont curl up on you, and Roger, it works great wet too. I do alot of wet applications, especially when layering vinyl, and it has worked great. Guess you can tell I like it ,huh.

Great post, I have looked at the add for Conform Series in Sign builder and I was skeptical of their add. I am now going to Lost Wages (Las Vegas) ISA booth 1240 to see for myself. Thanks.

got some 6 months ago.......love it. I bought it originally to use on some graphics for a trucking company who does their own installs, and the stuff may sit around for a while before they put it on. So far, so good!
