Kite tape

Anyone have about 2 feet of spare kite tape they could ship to maryland for arrival on saturday? I'm hoping to fly this weekend but I need to get a few tears fixed first.

Should be able to buy some stuff at the hardware store called ... dammit I can't remember :( got a box of it in the boot of the car, comes in a roll, thin and clear but flexible and very sticky. Used to repair tents and stuff ... about 3 or 4 inches wide, dunno how long.

Will post the name if I remember :D

Thanks, if no one chimes in soon I might have to make a hike to my local west marine supply store.

Tear-air :blush: yeah that's the one ...

If you have a Marine shop close buy ask if they can sew the tear. Tape is ok for a quickfix on the beach but nothing can replace a correctly sewn repair.

Depends how bad the damage is, surely?

3 3 inch long tears.

I have Tear-Aid, Sail Tape and colored ripstop tape in stock. If you are having trouble finding some locally, give me a call.
