Subject: [Paddlewise] tape

Has anyone actually used the 4" x 4" pieces of reflective tape sold at West
Marine on their PFD?  I am concerned that the tape won't adhere well long
term to the fabric.  Good comments from Jack Martin.<<<
-----------------
I applied the 1" wide tape across the back of my PFD, but also had concerns
about whether the adhesive would hold up long-term, so I stitched the ends
(but not the sides) to it with thread.  I did that three years ago and so
far it's held up just fine.
