Hi Swagman, Thanks for that. I think you are referring to reflective tape. What I have in mind is
holographic tape, ie. made by lazer and looks like the one side of a CD. There are plenty of
gift wrapping paper like that around but not adhesive tape.

AH (my wife) said there is a Crazy Store in the Westwood Mall. I'll pop in there on my way to graft this
morning, otherwise I'll get some from Bennie's shop.

You will see that some of the descriptions on the page refers to prismatic reflective tape. This is so called holographic tape. I have in the past imported it from Janns Netcraft  and Souder's Fishing Tackle in the States and have a few sheets here.  Changes reflective colours as you move it. These guys sell it at R22 per meter. They are in Stellenbosch. www.glowgear.co.za      glow@glowgear.co.za
However, you can be sure that the stuff Bennie has is the right stuff.
The good stuff which is hard to come by is stretchable. I am about to import some if I can't source it locally

Sorry I missed that on the page.
Stretchable tape would be fantastic to wrap it around curves, etc.

I will let you know if I find some of the stretchable locally or if I am going to import.

PH, I have found a source in the states for Stretchable tape. The description is vague so I am non sure if it is holographic. It is described as Holoform reflective tape. I queried the description and was told that it is "holographic but not prismatic". I am going to bring in a few sheets to check out.
