Is anyone interested in splitting a roll of Tear-Aid

I am thinking of buying a 30 foot roll of Tear-Aid type "A" in the 3" width. The cost is $64 plus shipping. I will cut it into 1 foot lengths and sell it. That should make the price around $2.50 a foot. Is anyone interested? I am not doing this for a profit, I just can not use a whole roll myself.

This stuff is amazing! You can use it for canopy and or bladder repairs.

I know it's a lot cheaper that way, but is there a reason why you don't wanna just buy a little Tear Aid patch kit? When I was down in Newport a few months back I stopped by The Kite Company to pick up some colored rip stop tape, but they said to just buy Tear Aid. I was a little hesitant at first (being that it's clear and all), but after using some to patch a few of my bladders, I have to say that stuff is amazing! Thumb's Up

I just found out that Andy and Bax does carry it. They charge $2 for a 6"x3" piece. It would probably be easier for all if we just purchased whatever amount we need from them. They also have the die cut retail packages for $8-9.

I can still order a roll if I get enough interest so we all can save some money. Once again, I don't want to make anything off this, just get mine for less if possible.

I will throw in $10 if you decide to get it.

Ok...I will go ahead and order the roll of 3"x30'. I will let you know when I get it.

heya steve,
regarding kite repair tape, i MAY be interested but got kida burned on the repair tape i bought from airtime. after just a few sessions on the repair (sweet old 03 12m naish that has a few scars) the tape edges are pulling up and full of sand. i followed the instructions perfectly.

do you have any experience with tear-aid? i mean the $ are small but i hate products that promise and dont deliver!

thanks

Yes, I have used it for small repairs. I can honestly say it works for small stuff, like the sie of a 50 cent piece. I have not used it for anything larger though. I am sure that it would work for larger tears until you could get your kite professioanlly repaired. If you travel at all, this could make or break your kiting vacation.

I've only used it for small stuff, but I too can say that it works awesome. Patched bladders and a couple little tiny holes in my kites, both without any problems. The stuff is insanely sticky!
