Minor issue really, but I'm using brown heat tape from sumosupplies on ebay and Listawood & Xpres mugs. The tape leaves a glue residue on the mugs after pressing. It rubs off with your thumb, but I'd rather not have to. Anyone recommend a better tape?

I always use brown tape off eBay without issues. Just ordered from China to see if that's any good.

Same issue. I have started using the blue tape from subliblanks and much prefer it to the gold. It also seems to hold itself better in the tape dispenser (the gold was slipping and not sticking to the jagged edge at the end)
