Dear all,

Looking for some cheap as possible black cloth bar tape, any condition is perfect. Old and tatty's all right. Just trying to do things on the cheap.

If you could possibly PM me if you've got anything that's perfect.

Cheers!

Old cloth tape is difficult to get off in one piece. Even if you can get it off, it doesn't stick very well again. New stuff is only a couple of quid a roll on ebay anyway.

sjs price is 1.99 per roll plus £2.50 delivery, so £6.48 for two rolls.
Pretty much the same as

which is the genuine new Velox tape for £6.50 for two rolls delivered.

i bought a whole roll (30m) of 'binding' tape from a tailors shop - it is the same stuff just not sticky, you can use tape or glue to fix it in place, or just wrap under tension and plug the ends - You can have a couple of meters for free, where are you based? - I assume Cardiff?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
