[QUOTE="Lesgold, post: 380229, member: 9840"] Hi Ironman, A few months ago I replaced the original tape on my Evo coil. You require the same skills as detecting to remove the old tape - go low and go slow Yep, it is a bugger to remove but if it wasnt, the tape wouldnt be doing its job. I replaced it with black electrical tape. Worked OK but only lasted about four weeks. The PVC tape did not have the same tear resistance as the fibre reinforced tape originally used. It was, however, a cheap solution to the problem. Decided to bite the bullet and spend some money on good tape from Detectaden. Its been on for quite a while now. Frayed, dull in colour and full of nicks and marks, its still holding on and has not split or let go. It seems to stick like shte to a blanket which is what you need in this situation. When the time comes to replace the tape, I think Ill sell the detector rather than going through the mental trauma of replacing it. (lol) Cheers Les [/QUOTE]
