Great tip. I've been experimenting with PVA glue myself, but the spray sounds like a better idea.

Now if only we could get kapton tape in 140mm!

Hehe except 140mm ( they actually sell 138mm)
Not sure anyone in their right mind would pay ~$150 plus shipping per roll though


I was being cheeky btw, I know where to get it.

It has 33 metres of tape per roll. This is enough for 235 applications. At $150 it is only 64 cents per application (plus delivery cost). It possibly works out less expensive than applying several strips of narrow tape.
Maybe our Australian (+NZ) suppliers can think about offering this size??????

Hi Lawrence, yes I agree in the scheme of things it still works out fairly cheap. But when you compare it to what is available its about 4X more expensive.

I seemed to have failed with my surreptitious attempt to point out I now sell 140mm x 33m kapton tape.
