They make duct tape in all sorts of funky colors. Why can't 3M do that for electrical tape? 3M can be more "creative" than that. :-) Okay, what's the closest "stretchy" tape in beige color? |

Try: "flesh colored tape". -- Dan Espen Geez, someone (not me) sure has a dirty mind. :-) Okay, it's ballroom dance shoe related (specifically, for taping cross-shaped suede heel protectors around the heel). http://www.dance-forums.com/threads/...otectors.6808/ ================================================== ================================= The third kind are my favorite. They are small cross-shaped pieces of suede that you fold over the end of the heel. Some people hold them in place with rubber bands, which looks bad in the same way that the hard plastic heel protectors look bad. But another way of holding them in place is using old-school cellophane tape. NOT the "magic transparent" tape or "satin" tape, but the real old-fashioned stuff. Why? Because the real cellophane tape is shiny and it also stretches a bit, so when you wind a bit of tape around the heel protector it molds to the shape of the shoe and is a bit shiny to coordinate with the satin fabric on the shoe. If you really want to get fancy, you can do like I do and dye the suede heel protectors to match your shoes, thereby making them even less noticable. ================================================== ================================= |

Adam:
I would phone up 3M's 1-800 customer support phone number and ask if they have a beige lane marking tape. Lane marking tape is often used in hospitals to guide people unfamiliar with the hospital to the places they most frequently need to go, such as the X-ray lab and the caffeteria. Lane marking tape has a very strong initial grab, but it can be pulled off a surface without leaving a glue residue. It's a very strong and waterproof tape that will stand up to people walking on it with dirty winter boots and comes in various widths, and most importantly, a wide variety of colours. The only problem I can see is that it typically comes in fairly large rolls, and you might not need that much tape. Another option would be to look in your yellow pages phone directory under Book Binding Equipment & Supplies to see if any of the book binders in your area can order some beige book binding cloth tape for you. This is a very strong linen tape with a very strong adhesive on it that will keep those suede crosses on for a long time. http://www.tapesonline.com.au/adhesi...loth-tape.html I'd consider using an elastic band to hold the crosses on, and then wrapping the heel with book binding tape over the elastic band.

Gosh, in that case, why not just use black? :-) BTW, I did use "black" electrical tape on a pair of black ballroom shoes, which turned out "perfect" and very professional looking. Maybe some "smart" person will have some "beige" electrical tape made in China and make tons of money? :-) |
