Paul (Landyacht) found the sailmakers tape in a mining supplies warehouse.

Company called "Atom Supplies" in Welshpool and Kalgoorlie- but probably in the east as well.
If not- there is always mail/internet sales.

Brand name of tape is "STYLUS TAPE" , double sided and cloth backed.
Tape is 48mm x 50 metres per roll, @ $22.00 + GST.

It is the same tape that the sailmakers use according to Paul.
He cuts it to whatever width he needs (probably just tears it down the middle)



Stephen

work around the roll with a really sharp stanley knife. you will cut into about 3 rings aech time , then trim some more as you work into the roll
