Is slip tape for hard cards good????

It's true. The teflon tape softens every edge of the card, and makes it impossible to set creases, hide specks. I usually have 2 cards. 1 with teflon, and an extra one without the tape to jam under my cuticle, or finger nail when I reach in to my pockets. Oh and to use on creases.

Yes! I think I'll do the same. Keep some cards with and without Teflon tape. I just scratched a window right now with a bad gator blade!!!!!

and many film suppliers inventory slip tape (also known as Teflon-coated tape).

 

It reduces the need to replace hard cards and installation squeegee blades by taking the brunt of wear and tear of use. You will instead replace the tape once you recognize it has lost its Teflon coating. Simply lift and re-position until most of the surface has been used up and as long as the adhesive continues to hold it to the tool.

 

In some instances you can use it bare to the SRC, eliminating the need for slip solution. When it was first introduced to me, I found it useful when installing tint to windshields where too much water can bring about a short. I was a LLumar/F1 user and promoter and found their SR coating could handle the slip tape without slip solution and without scratching. I found some film products didn't fair as well.

Slip tape is worth every penny. Love it

I think it has its uses. 

I love how it slides across film but in my own experience it doesn't hold up very long.

If you did you'd probably create the Blue Tri-Edge X hard card.

Also the Little Foot series is worth checking out, the Blue is considered a squeegee.
