RE: radio box tape ?
I had been using the hockey shinpad tape for quite awhile it works great but if you leave it on very long or it gets hot it can leave a ton of residue.
I finally tried some of the "good" stuff, it's alot thinner and almost seems more like cellophane tape than vinyl tape but it doesn't leave any stickiness behind which I think might be the main reason why people use it.
It doesn't stretch around curves like vinyl tape.
The roll seems like it will last quite awhile I figure considering what it's protecting it's still pretty cheap.
Just thought I'd give my impressions in case any one else is wondering what the deal with the tape is.
