Tube "tape"

zubol · 05 May 2010, 12:47

Does anyone know where I can buy "tape" used on joining tubes for my Avon SR 5.4?
I did some patches and I had to remove old ones.

I mean something like that:

I think its just lower density hypalon strips. I am sure Paul Tilley will keep it. or you could just cut some with a scalpel and straight edge?
contrary to popular belief it isnt actually gaffer tape or duct tape

you could probably get away without it if you sikaflex the edges of the seams to stop water lifting them?

i recon if you were desprate as doggypaddle says cut some strips ,suppose wetsuit or drysuit seam tape would do ,though may not be wide enough.

Enyone know how to get it?

we dont use the hypalon tape that avon used to use as it has no strength ,we cut strips out of the normal tube fabric
