Where and what product is the best white wing tape to be bought?

I use Maplins electrical white insulation tape. At 19mm x 33m long its
wide enough if put on with care and 7.54 p/m and the shop is on my way to
the airfield.

I notice that Severn Valley Sailplanes also sell 19mm x 33m wing tape at
6.79 p/m but of course there will be P&P added. What's the betting its
the same stuff as Maplins sell? SVS also supply tape in 25mm and 38mm
widths. Maplins only do 19mm tape.

I wonder how long before EASA require us to use only wing tape that comes
with an EASA Form 1?

Just hope they don't read RAS and in the meantime be afraid, be very
afraid....

I use Scotch 3M 35 White Vinyl Electrical Tape at $3 per roll, which I think is the US equivalent to what Martin described.
