Blackdog Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hello people, Currently working on my first bound body. I found this picture in another forum. (picture borrowed from someone's build thread for illustration purposes only...) What do you call this type of tape ?? And do you know where should I look for it in the NL/Europe ?? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibnaz5150 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I believe that is filament tape. used quite a bit for shipping purposes. It's fiberglass reinforced for extra strength. Stewmac sells a binding tape though it's a paper tape. sure it would work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Most decent hardware stores will carry fibreglass reinforced tape over here - some have it, some don't. My double-sided tape is basically like that stuff. Thing is, that's complete overkill for plastic binding. Get some clear packing tape - sticky enough, plenty strong, and superglue won't stick to it.

IWishICouldShred Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Looks like book tape to me, but that's probably because I work in a library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it would be complete overkill for a plastic binding, but I'll be bending some maple and cocobolo binding. That's why I want something like that...

A combo of masking tape and clear packing tape has served me well for wooden bindings. Just make them nice and thin so they're easier to bend..

carousel182 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 masking tape has worked great for me, i do use that reinforced tape on the horns though (I believe its under the masking tape on this picture so its not visible.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
