    Hi all.

    Long time no post, but in serious need of urgent help so please forgive my sudden appearance after a long absence!

    I am in need of a 2.5 inch mircro prismatic tape in orange to replace decal on one door of a van. Have found a supplier, but they want me to buy a full 50m roll! We don’t use it regularly enough to need a full roll! Does anyone else use this and would be willing to sell us enough for the job?

    Cheers

    So have been great! Have found a supplier, but they only sell it in 610wide and I only need 2.5 inches so would be rather a lot of wastage! [emoji30]

    Hi Karen

    Looking at the photo the top edge is ultrasonically edge sealed and is available as a tape – If its Red you would need 980-72 and if its orange it would actually be classed as a fluorescent orange code 9924

    Both are available by the metre @ 2" wide ready edge sealed tape – No one would do this normally in the orientation your photo shows so i am guessing this has been cut off the vehicle from a 2" wide strip, not as a 2 1/2" strip.

    If you just purchase 24" wide rolls and cut down maually the tape will fail along the long edges with water and dirt ingress – if using 3M always go for a supplier that edge seals the edges of the Diamond Grade.
