Alistair,

Greetings,

        I discovered this self vulcaninzing wonder tape, when I bought a
sailboat this summer.  Marine supply folks call it "rigging tape"  Mine
was white, about $17.  If your at UVIC, try calling the Oak Bay Marina
supply store for a local source, or else the Sailors Exchange in Sidney.

Sincerely,
