It's on a red plastic core and labeled: PTFE THREAD SEAL TAPE MIL SPEC T-27730A 1/2" x 520" MADE IN MALAYSIA I didn't have to cut the spool; it was easy enough to bend it out of the way. There's at least a good 3/8" of tape on the roll, so I don't think there's much chance of the red plastic influencing the readings. However, the i1 Pro's light visibly leaks through the sides of the stacked tape, which probably *does* alter the readings. Attached are a half-dozen readings. Curiously, all have L* values over 100. I don't recall seeing that happen with either my BabelColor Watch Your White target or the Tyvek sample. I think your theory has merit, but the practical application probably needs work.... Cheers, b&
