It looks like shiny cloth, rather than plastic...And I know I'm not crazy - at least about this ;-) - as I know another LUGer who also uses this and swears by it. It is not, btw, a perfect solution, but it is really close to it.... B.

I live in Canada. The tape I bought is a 3M Plastic first aid tape called "Transpore". It's the only one available from the largest drug store here. Have I bought the wrong stuff or done something wrong? Joe L. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "B. D.
