Premium Double-Sided Linen Tape (50mm x 25m)

The professional secret for crisp, clean rug edges and a high-end finish. Give your handmade rugs the professional finish they deserve. This heavy-duty, double-sided linen tape is the go-to tool for makers who want to prevent fraying and create perfectly secured borders. Perfect for Tufting & "Waterfall" Edges Creating a "rolled edge" or "waterfall" finish is essential for a high-quality rug. This tape makes it effortless to fold your primary backing (monks cloth or gray tufting cloth) over the edge of your rug, securing it firmly to the back. Stop the Fray: The thick adhesive layer traps loose fibers and prevents "frilling" or unraveling at the cut edges of your cloth. Crisp Folds: Thanks to the linen mesh reinforcement, this tape is flexible enough to fold corners tightly without the bulk or "popping" that occurs with cheaper tapes. Invisible Reinforcement: Once your final backing (felt or non-slip cloth) is applied, the tape remains completely hidden while providing permanent structural strength. Why Tufters Love This Tape: Extreme Adhesive Power: The woven linen structure grips deep into the fibers of your tufted work, ensuring a strong bond even on uneven surfaces. Flexible & Conformable: Whether you're making a round rug or complex organic shapes, this tape follows the curves and holds the fold. Extra Wide (50mm): The 5cm width provides a generous surface area for a secure "hem," making sure your edges stay down forever. Maker-Friendly: Hand-tearable for quick application, featuring a high-contrast yellow liner that is easy to peel—even if your fingers are a bit sticky from latex. Product Specifications: Width: 50 mm / 2 inches Length: 25 Meters per roll Material: Double-sided reinforced linen/cloth mesh Compatibility: Works perfectly with latex-treated rugs, monks cloth, and all types of secondary backings. 💡 Maker's Tip: After applying the tape and folding your edges, use a heavy roller or a mallet to firmly press the layers together. This "locks" the adhesive into the fibers for a permanent bond that won't budge.
