best tape is Electric Boat Company tape..if you find any
i'll take a roll...i think someone on this site awhile back
raved about it--some was left on a sub when it left drydock
and when it got back months later it was still stuck on--
but in real life those mini rolls from REI seems to be
very sticky--i gave some to a canoe buddy to fix a leaky
boot after his "big box" store brand came off and the REI
tape lasted the rest of the trip--five days..
