I have one inch wide gap tape for sale.


35 rolls for $40 post paid in the US.


Not as good as the $6-$8 a roll tape, but
a lot cheaper if you put on and take off
tape daily. *This is "one day use tape".


Considering the cost of postage these days,
my price is less than $1 a roll after I pay postage.

Just curious. I have always used white electrical tape for long term
use. Is there a reason to use "official" gap tape?


Electrical tape is fine, but TJ's tape is wider (it helps on my plane)
and cheaper (which always helps!) than any decent white electrical
tape I've used. I bought some from him last year, and still have a
LOT left. I tape on Saturdays, and pull tape Sundays, cleaning up any
residue with 3M "General Adhesive Cleaner". When the weather is over
100 degrees, TJ's tape will creep very slightly more than 3M
electrical tape.
