Comments about MDR Rigging Tape:
Have used MDR rigging tape since 2003.
Wrapped spreader ends in 2004 - still holding in 2010.
Strong, conformable, adhesive stays put even in tropics (lesser tapes become sticky mess).
Reviewer giving poor rec obviously does not know this product.
Highly recommended. I wish more places stocked it.
