I knew a guy who placed a "coat" of packaging tape over the lead tape to secure it to the frame.

Where can I buy 3m lead tape cheap?

Nowhere for cheap. When you buy 3M you don't care what the price is because you want the best.
I too have added 2 layers of this stuff on a bio 300 tour with no problems.
Are you using that thick tape for golf clubs? I used that at first but it flew off pretty quickly, I then secured it with electrical tape. Worked well, but looked pretty bad.

I recently setup a Bio 200-Lite (same Aeroskin as 300 Tour) with short dual-layer strips of Gamma lead tape (one on top of the other) @3 & 9 on the exterior of the hoop, taped over with Babolat head tape for insurance. It held for an entire week of play before I took it off. Electrical tape should work just as well, as others have suggested. 3M Temflex is a great electrical tape because it doesn't leave a messy residue when removed and comes in many colors.

By cheap I mean best prices. Where do u buy them? I want 1/2" or 1/4" so I don't need to cut them myself. Tks

I use the huge reels (1/4 inch) that gamma stuff works good too

on my 200L it sticks fairly nice without any additional moves (tourna tape)
1. clean the surface with a cotton rag or paper towel. Use a moist rag if really dirty but make sure it is dry before proceeding to the next step.
2. remove the paper back from the lead tape and stick the lead tape on the racket. Make sure the tape has no big buckles.
3. rub air pockets out of the tape with the slick back of the paper backing that you removed from the lead tape in step 1.
4. if the tape falls off, you have crappy lead tape so buy so good stuff and repeat steps 1 thru 3.
I have used Gamma and the TW big reel as well as golf lead tape with no problems. I demo-ed the bio 300 T and the bio 300 and stuck tape on the inner loop of the head and it stayed for the demo week until I removed it.
