Red tape and gloves

[NuggyBuggy 0]

I've seen some posts suggesting that red tape is bad for your gloves. Is it really *bad* for gloves, or is it just discoloring - if the latter, I wouldn't really care. I have a roll lying around, and thought it would be a great way to identify my stick.

I've used red tape for almost half the season and they didn't even discolor.

The dye in Black tape can eat away at the palms...but I've never heard the same thing about red.

personally i use white tape with red Rings (like the cat in the hat looking) and ive never had discoloration....also, my friend has used friction tape on his stick so it will grab his glove better, and he loves it and cant say he has lost palm life.

I've used red tape for years on my butt ends (for identification and superstition purposes.) They have stained the hell out of my top hand glove palms. Also the palms do get chewed up quite a bit but I can't say if that's from the red tape or the knob.

i used to use the red cloth stuff alot and it did nothing to my palms...and it smelled like cherries :)

I use a roll of yellow Renfrew stick tape for my butt end and it hasn't stained my palms yet... haven't tried red yet.
