I have seen mention of white solid, white 1 hole, white 2 hole, brown solid, brown 1 hole, and brown 2 hole. Do these represent six different performance characteristics? Would one want to have several different versions of veneer tape? Thanks.

Daryl is the expert. But I do have a different opinion.I started out with the brown stuff. Maybe I had a defective roll. But I was not too impressed with it. For one, it seems to have less glue than the white. Also the white seems thinner, so it absorbs water quicker and is therefore easier to remove.The other trick I picked up is to first tape the backside with masking tape while preparing the face side. The masking tape holds the pieces in place for the wet and fragile veneer tape. I am getting tighter joints now.Your results may vary

Don,The differences in veneer tapes are relevant to how big industry uses it not so much the small guy. First, there is no one hole veneer tape, not that Ive ever heard of. As far as white or brown, no hole or two hole, this is about sanding the tape off. Darker tape on darker woods, lighter tape on lighter woods, if a bit of fiber is left behind it wont show up much. Large manufacturers use a lot of tape so having holes makes for less tape to sand off. None of this really matters to you and I. I re-wet the veneer tape to remove it so sanding is not relevant. I usually use no hole tape because its a little stronger, useful when I have a difficult veneer to tape up.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I have seen mention of white solid, white 1 hole, white 2 hole, brown solid, brown 1 hole, and brown 2 hole.
