Sometime ago I read a review of a clear marking or measurement adhesive tape product that you can use for jigs, tablesaws etc. It comes in inch measurements with either 8th or 16th markings on it. Anyone know how to find this product? I've googled for it but I just keep coming up with Kreg or Rockler stuff. I know I found this site about two years back.

thanks folks

Self stick tape from Komelon if I remember the name right. 0 to 12 feet. You can get it from R to L or L to R. Grizzly also sells similar tapes but after shipping, costs a bit more. Ace ordered 3 in for me, picked up at local store, no shipping. Seems like they were under $6.00 each. Try a Google for Komelon. WOOPS! After re-reading your post, I think you had transparent in mind. If so, SORRY!

What's the website? search for red tape is not very helpful.

Rockler used to sell it but no longer does. After searching for it I get the impression it's no longer available from whoever was producing it.
There are articles at Popularwoodworking and Toolmonger about it from 2009.

Sounds like a great product. Unfortunately, from what I see the actual product site is gone.

I found all sources dried up awhile ago. The clear format had advantages but, I now use white-backed stick-ons like you find widely available ;-(
