I'm a tennis racquet tech (side gig) and we use spools of Pb tape for weight and balance tuning of frames. It's uncoated, so following installation I (a) scrub my hands down with a brush and dish detergent and (b) shellac the tape where it is on the customer frame with two coats of clear nail polish. They make rubber adhesive strips with four or five wee bits of tungsten in them, but they are too expensive for general use, nor do they offer the precision you get from a continuous length of lead tape. They are also too thick to install on the handle pallet under the grip, which is no problem with lead tape since it's about 0.3 mm thick (rough guess, I haven't actually mic'ed it). |
