Is there any source for self-adhesive strips of black velvet (or similar material) tape of some sort?


I'm thinking of wrapping some black velevet-like material around some moldings to make a frame for my screen and though some 4"x10' (or more) strips/rolls of a self-adhesive material would be better than flat-black paint or regular black velvet fabric.

Try Rose Brand in NYC. They have an item called: Duve Pro Tape. I've used it a bit on Broadway shows. It may work for you.

That tapes looks like it'd do the trick. I'm almost tempted to just use the tape to create my screen frame and forget about the molding.

A warning... the adhesive on the roll of Duve-Pro I bought is almost worthless. I used it to frame my screen and it keeps falling off. I'm going to have to either add my own glue to the back or sew it to the screen.

I also used the tape from rosebrand and the glue is pretty poor. What I did was a very thorough cleaning of the metal frame (I used rubbing alcohol), and a good going over with a J roller. I don't have the 1st hint of "lift off" after nearly 3 months.

call Stewart Film Screen from what i understand they can sell the material the use for the screen frames, cannot remember the name. good luck

It's called Velux from Stewart, and Pro-Trim from Da-Lite.

Here's a possible source: http://www.mcmaster.com/ Search for velvet. I've not used this personnally, but others have.
