4 inches of adhesive black dacron tape - FOUND

grigorib - 23-7-2014 at 06:58 AM

I'm in need of 3-4 inches of adhesive black dacron tape 1-2 inches wide. It should just fit into regular envelope, I don't need a roll.
I can trade it for grey dacron tape or for white or black ripstop tape in return.

Thanks!

That one is not adhesive.

I am pretty sure I have some buried deep in the kite shed. Unfortunately it is pouring rain and will probably do so tomorrow as well . Message me a reminder on Friday and I will dig into it and see if I can find some.

But this is.....

Sold by the yard ($1.50 per).

Onling shipping calculations may not be accurate.... best to call and see if they will do an envelope shipment at min. cost.

Alternatively, Kiteboarding.com sells 1" & 3" sticky back dacro tape by the foot.

Although not listed on their site, Kite and Fun Things would be another source to check.

It is the retail arm of Skyburner Kites and Jon (Trennepohl) probably keeps the stuff on hand for repairs. Jon and Marieanne also happen to be genuinely nice folks.

Stores wanted $6 for shipping 80c piece but KB agreed just to put that little patch into an envelope and ship for $0.50
Thanks for contacts!
