The Teraoka would make sense to apply to the bottom of the base material so that you can stick it to the key after peeling off and discarding the liner. It's much easier to work with than the Teraoka because you can cut as many pieces you need in advance and trim them to the exact size you want without them sticking to anything until you peel the backing off of each piece.Īfter seeing the Teraoka and 3M tapes along with the synth-parts blog, and re-reading ee375's last post, I think what ee375 is describing is not Teraoka 777 but perhaps a combination of the Teraoka *and* the 3M *and* a "rubber-like black base material" in between. The other side of the UMHW is smooth and slippery. There's a paper liner which protects the adhesive side of a translucent UHMW plastic layer that's much thicker, more rigid, and more durable feeling than the paper liner of the Teraoka. On the roll neither side is sticky, so you have to use some other kind of tape to hold the end of the roll when you're not using it or it will just unspool itself all over the place. The liner has a coating to keep the tape from sticking to it, so it does have low friction but I would also guess pretty low durability and the potential to peel right off should anything rub against the corners or edges. Once a tiny corner or edge of it is lifted the liner pulls effortlessly away, leaving you with a very thin, gooey, double-sided tape and a paper liner with no adhesive properties at all. If you never disturb the liner it might stay attached to the tape, but that's clearly not how it's intended to be used. As you remove it from the roll, one side is sticky and the other side has the liner. I can confirm that the Teraoka is just basic double-sided tape with a disposable liner. The Teraoka I got is a smaller width than what you'd need for a digital piano but that's irrelevant for this comparison. I finally got my hands on some Teraoka 777 and 3M 5423 tape to compare.
