I believe the parma tape is silicone and not acrylic.

The picture in that listing does not match the description.

Foam / acrylic tape is not clear. It is usually grey or white. Parma is a clear silicone based tape.

There are thousands of manufacturers making DS tape of varying qualities. We use oodles of the stuff at work and have found that you generally get what you pay for. We have found that to get decent stuff you need to pay about $40 for a 33m roll of 12mm wide silicone based tape.

The best stuff around is 3M VHB but the $$$$$$$ it costs means its only used for jobs that really need it.
