I'll have to check this stuff out.  Pending that, I expect that it's
similar to self-fusing silicone tape I've used before, which is to
say considerably lighter weight than the Rescue Tape.  When I first
used the R. T. I was quite surprised by the amount of strength
necessary to stretch it for application.  It's a Mil Spec product,
normally 20 mil but obtainable (custom) from ten to eighty mil.

Nope, I'm wrong.  The Nashua specs appear identical to the R. T.
except they only offer black and clear.

I'll get a roll and compare them directly.
