I replaced a 28mm thick panel last year (20mm spacebar and 4mm inner & outer glass). When cleaning the tape off the inside of the frame, it looked to have been 3mm. On fitting the new panel, I used new 3mm tape, but couldn't get the beads back in. Not an issue I've ever had before. So I ditched the 3mm tape and used 1mm instead which allowed the beads to snap back firmly.

I have another three panels to replace this week, but have been told the 1mm tape I previously used is PE Foam, and I should only be using PVC Foam which comes in 2-6mm thickness, not 1mm.

Can anyone clarify the difference between the two, as I cant find anything online that says you cannot use 1mm PE foam?
