    Reflective Tape

    I need some wide reflective tape. Not sure what type, it probably needs to be the type I am able to sew onto my hammock, tarp and doggie gear.

    I thought some highly reflective tape would show up for scary night, but no luck.

    Anyone know where to buy the stuff?

    Gear Aid makes a reflective version of tenacious tape. REI maybe?

    Walmart stocks the reflective Tenacious Tape. It’s about 2 inches wide and will stick to most fabrics with a near permanent bond.

    Well there's actual tape: Scary Bird Tape

    And then there's reflective ribbon for sewing, sold in most fabric stores (and expensive):

    I used the combo ribbon for making the anchors on my Gemini clew quilt and it looks pretty cool.

    Thank You for the pointers.

    Gear Aide Reflective seems to have disappeared from the walk in & purchase places. Dutch does not carry it anymore. Plus it is spendy for the small quanity.

    The stores here in the Portland, Oregon area are not carrying it. I tried a couple of the boating & bicycle shops they do not have reflective material in one or two inch width by the yard that is washable.

    I guess a trip up to Seattle is in my future.

    Several years ago 3 M had some DIY highly reflective tape, I am unable to find the stuff now.
    Thank you all for the suggestions.

    I guess I am blind! I looked on your site. I could not find "reflective" tape.
    I need a length longer than 20 inches but I am going to pace an order right now.

    This site has every kind of reflective tape/fabric you might want! I linked to the sew-on stuff, but lots of other stuff on their site.
