Trim Tape

[John Galt]

I am running out of my supply of the discontinued Pactra Trim tape.
What is the alternative to Pactra that I can purchase in varying widths and colors that will not break the bank?
Most of the automotive trim tape comes in ⅛" widths and limited colors.

Thanks T-Rex, but I found the website a little wonky and not secure.

This is off the subject a little bit, but I found out that the 1/8" trim automotive trim tape works great for the small 13 mm A-motor NAR competition models. A few wraps of the tape around the aft end of the motor makes a quick and convenient thrust ring. After motor installation another wrap of tape can hold the motor in place for the ejection charge.

I sometimes use adhesive book covering and cut it with a single sided razor blade. Also good for planning decals on prototypes.

You could cut your own with a Cricut.

And that vinyl can be cut with a razor and straight edge if you don’t have a machine.

12” squares are a couple bucks at HL. Longer lengths on rolls. If you’re okay with trim monokote, you’d be okay with it. Not the same, but close enough to work.

I agree. It is close enough.
