Made of long strips of Dacron® cloth cut with the grain, so that there is very little stretch, and folded in half down the length of the tape. Makes it easier to use. Sold per foot. 2" wide unfolded.
Dacron® sail tape is used to finish the edges of sails, for reinforcement in the areas where fasteners are placed in canvas projects and to form sleeves into which boltrope can be drawn. Some sailmakers use two or three layers of tape in the place of boltrope. Extra strength can be achieved by using more than one ply. White only.
This tape is prefolded in half. (Width is before folding).
