Good news for we Canucks who need to think twice before ordering from the US due to ridiculous shipping charges...

They don't say which 3M tape it is.

Looks like 233+ which is the standard in body shops & good stuff IMO. If it is 233+, you can get it for less at auto body supply places, i.e. NAPA.

Also, if it is 233+, I think it would be too stretchy for binding. I did find what looks like the binding tape that StewMac sells at my paint store listed as masking tape for concrete. I haven't bought any yet, but it sure looks like the stuff, FWIW.

I've had issue with strapping tape... it just does not stick well enough to wood that it would come off at later (and unopportune) times. I don't know what's up but the binding tape has enough adhesion that it does not come off unless there's way too much dust on it.

Todd,

Is it the 3M 893 tape that you use?

I use the 3M 233+ .. doubled up .. a bit more time, but the tape is easy to get in any large town at an autobody place - I get mine at Carquest in Oakville .... the LV pricing is crazy, the tape is under 4$ where I get it, and they are obviously making a profit ...
