A few years ago I bought one of the venturi setups from Woodcraft. It was made by a company called Rousseau.
It came with a roll of vacuum tape about 3/8" wide x almosx as high. It worked great. I bought some of the tape from Veneer supplies and I can't get anything to clamp with that. But when I use my old jigs with the old tape it works great. Anyone know where I can get somethng like I discribed above?

Thanks Gary

I've bought vacuum tape from Allstar also. Good stuff.

More often than not though, I gut a groove of .085 deep by .125 wide and use a closed cell neoprene cord stock as a seal. Parts then suck down flush against the fixture and still hold securely. Just suggesting an alternative.

+1 on both of those. I use stuff from Allstart and put it in grooves.
