Skidplate and coil tape - information and questions

[XLOOX]

Depends on whether you are a "scrubber" and type of ground.

Some hardrock mullock heaps will make short work of a cover if you scrub.

Personally, I like to scrub if i can still swing steady and smooth.

The high temperatures seem to destroy every tape I've tried. I have some blue rubberised paint (RTT Sealant, pond paint) that I carry in a tomato sauce bottle. It sets like rubber overnight and although it adheres quite well to most surfaces it can be be easily removed from hard surfaces without too much trouble. I've started using it to put a small bead around the top of the skid plate. It's not affected by the extreme temperatures and handles the scuffing quite well. I'll use it again this trip and prove its value one way or the other.

It will be good to hear your findings Phil, I've tried several and Nito seems to be the best of those, although not perfect.Dave

I just use the grey cloth tape from bunnings, been using it for for years will from now on too. Wrap around at least 2 times for a bit of cushioning from rocks.
When replacing clean any glue residue with wd40 (almost wipes off)
The tape is twice as wide as you need so cut it deep with a box cutter whilst on roll.

Nitto is they way to go as it has a slight stretch about it so will take the form a little easier. Cheap electrical tape is stiff and difficult to use and seems to go hard with age, thats my 2 cents worth.

I also use nitto tape but the loom tape as it’s wider. And cheaper.

I buy mine from coiltech at maryborough for 10 bucks a roll

Nitto, as Hounddog says, it has a good stretch and takes the form of the coil. It's cheap too.
