ARCH - UHMW blunt construction tips

[Harry C. Billings]

This is where I like the electral tape when it shows singes of getting bad
you can unwrap it take some cleaner to clean the resdue off and rewrap it in
about two mininuets. Where as with straping tape the glue dries you have to
scrape and scrub to get the old tape off and scrub some more to get the
surface clean. More maintamce to electrial tape but easer to do, less with
strapping tape but harder take you pick.

>brittle, the edges are starting to curl, and the glue is weakening and it is
