Anyone use Orange Seal tape?

I've been using Velofuze 19mm tape for standard width rims. Velofuze is pretty much the same thickness as Stan's, but are much easier to use than razor cutting the latter's wider 21mm width. Orange Seal is thinner, but not crazy thin (I think).

I use Orange Seal tape, two wraps; it sticks, it seals, it works.

Vecchio's did too, better than Stans, IMHO.

I have used Orange Seal and Pacenti blue tape. They both worked fine.

I used two wraps of orange seal on a wheelset for a friend who was going tubeless and 100 pounds of pressure blew right through in a few spots.

I found Orange Seal difficult to use for an AmClassic cross wheel. Kept burping and losing pressure. Replaced with a single layer of Stan's, no burps or pressure losses.

On a mountain wheel it worked fine, but wasn't confidence inspiring as I found it impossible to lay it down without trapping air bubbles and/or completely remove those bubbles with finger pressure around the inside.

I'm a hamfisted wrench fwiw.
