When to choose it

Choose the 3/16-inch roll when you need a narrower tape than the 7/32-inch Edco option. That difference affects how much foil is available to fold onto both faces after wrapping the edge. Compare it against the actual sheet thickness and the look you want at the seam.

This roll is black on the side that goes against the glass. Compare a different backing if that surface will be visible through clear pieces. Check the width again before pairing the roll with a fixed-width foiler.
