Do hardware stores sell teflon tape????

[Nefrodite]

I'm running out of the stuff for my mouse feet. i got em from everglide but i don't feel like paying em for a small strip if i can buy an entire roll somewhere. would an electronics store or hardware store sell em?

 

[bonk102]

yes, they should

And so does WalMart, Lowes, and Home Depot

hm kewl i'm totally running out and hooked on the stuff. mice without it feel totally so very wrong


btw this is the stuff i'm talking about

All I can ever find is the non adhesive type they use for plumbing. That stuff is no good for mouse feet.

I also have never heard of adhesive teflon tape. Only the normal plumbing type of stuff. Also the tape teflon is something different from normal solid teflon - I dont think it would work for mouse glide pads at all....
Just call Logitech (whatever manufacturer u have) they send u new pads for ur mouse in no time - provided they still have the type

Yeah, I don't think you'll find that at a hardware store. I'm at Home Depot all the time and all I've seen is the plumber's role of teflon tape that's not sticky.

heh yup, i got that too, its plumbing tape and yes totally useless for mice.


as for mice feet from logitech, i think the ones that come with it are plain plastic. once u stick the teflon tape on its far slicker.

I've looked and have never been able to find teflon tape with an adhesive backing. Where can I find this type of teflon at any of these stores? The clerks can't help me.

no one knows?

You might try these ptfe tapes (standard and premium w/silicon) at can-dotape.com.

They are teflon and the silicon is the sticky adhesive part.

I'd call them first tho.
