Fiberglass tape source

[FRC1746]

"Edges of the FRP surface material will be taped down and the seams between the three pieces will be taped together with fiberglass tape with a friction characteristic similar to the FRP material. This will be done to prevent uneven edges/seams from "catching a wheel" during the game."

Can you identify the part number and/or supplier of the fiberglass tape so we can emulate the setup we will find at the regionals?

JVCC 762-BD Bi-Directional Filament Strapping Tape is a fiberglass reinforced polypropylene tape which gives you #220 tensile strength in both directions (measures the tape's resistance to being broken apart as stress is applied). It is a high strength, bi-directional filament tape used for extremely demanding strapping, bundling and palletizing applications. High tear resistance makes it ideal for tabbing/seaming in the metal fabricating industry. Can also be used as project material for building out a Hexayurt shelter. Referred to as strapping tape or string tape.
