Super Tack vs. Lite Super Tack

[kaerock 1]

I'm just wondering if there is a general consensus on preference for Super Tack or Lite Super Tack. The applications I need are general tacking: riser housings, cable housings, etc, etc.

I prefer regular flat tack, or lite tack. It is 50 lbs. and super tack is 80 lbs. The regular is easier to work with and provides more than enough strength.

I also prefer the lite version.

I have light-weight, medium-weight and heavy-weight Super-Tack in my loft.
The light-weight is kind of flimsy, so I only use it in awkward corners, like the Slimline buckles on Strong tandem rigs.
Medium-weight gets used on everything else.
Heavy-weight is too fat to gracefully sew with, so I rarely use it except for tying down bumpers on connector links.
I recently ordered a couple more spools of medium-weight Super-Tack.

Where do you get the medium Super-tack? Paragear only lists the light(50lbs) and the heavy(80-90lbs)?

To clarify, what I referred to as "medium weight" is probably the 50 pound Super Tack sold by Para-Gear.
I cannot remember where I got my roll of light weight, 30 pound Super Tack - it has been so long. Maybe you could ask Al MacDonald at Flying High where he gets his.
