Dacron is just a name. The tape is made of polyester fabric. How much do you need?

Hey Chis!

What colour and how much do you need? Is it just for a patch?

The best place to contact is a wing builder like Microcrafts Africa (old Solo Wings) +27 (31) 7002806.

Cheers,

Speak to Jenya,

He has and does always help...they call it sticky patches and you can cut it to size.... (^^)
