More places to get tape in the U.S.

GoodBuyGuys.com - cheap gaffer
HockeyMonkey.com - obviously hockey tape
McCormick's - some is expensive, some not. I haven't ordered from them yet, but they offer 1/2" prism & 1/2" silver and gold mirror (whereas Identi-tape only has 3/4" and 1")

What is the best kind of tape to use? I never realized there were so many different types.

If you only want to buy one tape, I'd choose gaffer's, as it has lots of grip & is fairly durable. If it's too expensive for you (even from the cheap sources), hockey is grippy too, just a little less durable.

I am struggling to find and order the correct sized snap buttons / spring buttons. I want to buy them in bulk. If anyone knows of a link where I could get them from then that would be GREAT!!! Thank youuuuu.

There's a few places that hoopers on here have used before, there is a thread asking the same question on here somewhere.

Here is the original thread, it asks about shipping to canada but most of the companies talked about ship international so will more than likely ship to the UK :)
