Where do I get white tape for re-taping my PX3 clubs?
Am re-applying tape to my set of PX3 Pirouettes, but I don't seem to be able to find the right kind. White electrical tape seems to split and crack really easily, whilst canvas tape seems to wrinkle too easily when I apply it.
Any advice?
The Play website appears to suggest they use Tesa Pvc tape www.playjuggling.com/gadgets-spare-parts/pvc-deco-tape.html
I would advise buying some Henrys Pirouettes.

Thanks Miark, much appreciated! Though I won't turn this into a discussion on which juggling clubs to buy... :-)

Electrical tape (aka insulation tape) comes in a wide spectrum of qualities Mark, and the cheap stuff at the pound store is liable to stretch, split, ruck, and ooze adhesive which then collects dirt like a magnet. Tesa, on the other hand, only make top notch tapes of all kinds so you might find their insulation tape to be rather more useful. It can be a bugger finding stockists in the UK though.
Whatever you use, make sure it goes down onto a clean surface otherwise you will make more problems for yourself.
You can pick up Tesa tape from RS Components (I buy quite a bit of miscellaneous stuff from RS for work & have found them to be a very reliable company).

The best insulation tape I've ever used has always come from RS, I hadn't ever realised it was Tesa - so yeah, I guess that's another vote for Tesa PVC insulation tape from me.
It really is a different beast to anything you can buy on the high street - and it comes in half-width which is handy.

Thanks Jay, very helpful! :-)
Some years ago, I decided to get some coloured electrical tape to decorate my clubs.
Something like 5 years later, all the clubs are still well taped.
I got it from here, as they were quite cheap but had a good choice of colours:

If you want tape to protect the ends, then I'd have thought cloth tape is better suited, although electrical tape can do a good job of keeping stuff in place.
