A request for DP

Is there any way that you could carry painters tape? Maybe a few different widths also. After making my order I realized that I still have to goto a hardware store and pick up some painters tape. It woulda been so much easier to just order it from you along with all my other stuff.

Some really thin stuff, like you see on OG's DVD would be great ! I could use some of that on the edge of the vinyl bonnet and boot stripes to keep the buffer from raising up the edges. The most narrow I've found is over half an inch wide.

My grocery store actually dosn't carry painters tape. We only carry 4 different kinds of tape, Scotch Magic Tape, Scotch Double Sided Tape, Duct Tape, and Scotch Giftwrap Tape.

I need 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch tape. I have 3/8, bit it's too narrow for normal body seams, but 1 inch leaves noticable lines near the seams that aren't PC'ed.

Please DP, make it happen!

why don't you ask DP to carry cloths, groceries, household stuff,
furniture, radios, cars, and watever else you can buy on the internet.

jk

ask your wife to get you some tape the next time she's out to the
supermarket or target or watnot. actually, target has a nice
selection of 3M tape.

Heather, I'm looking for a shaker style Armoire made out of Maple. Do you have anything like that?

Well, I bought my tape from ADS. A lost sale for Heather! HAHAHA

Why is it that whenever I step away from NAM for a day or two I miss all the funny stuff??


Anyway, Nick just brought that up the other day. We never have in the past because we personally don't like to tape. So, we just never thought about it. However, we know many people do tape and we recognize that it would be nice to one-stop shop and get the tape from us.

Sooo, we're looking into it. Give me a little time and we'll do it.

Thanks for the idea and prod... and keep 'em coming! It's the only way we know what you want to buy.

-Heather

Taping is for wimps!
My grandmother tapes her walker before she waxes it.
There's a kindergärtner down the street that tapes his big wheel before he details it.
Some little girls tape the side walk to help them make a hop-scotch.
Our dog tapes the lawn before he dum* ... never mind. Bottom-line, taping is for wimps!

Well I'm bummed I couldn't supply you with tape but you're in luck with the armoire!! Oooh, except that I just remember we only carry walnut armiores. Another lost sale!

The DP retail store just happens to be located right next to the heart of Denver's antique district. Soooo, you just need to take a trip here and do your shaker armoire and detailing supply shopping all in one fun day!

Heather

I never knew it was orange until the other day. I sprayed it on a white Monster and I was like, whoa, what did I just pick up?

But home depot never has the sizes I want, and it's 15 minutes there, 15 minutes back, just for a roll of tape that I will use up in one car. If I could order a box or a bunch of rolls from DP and get free shipping when I order with my other things I need (over $100) I would be much happier.
