tape with hair on!

[woody001]

Hi,

I am really finding it hard to find anywhere that sells: -

The tape with hair on.

You know!

The companionway hatch “slides” open like most yachts, it’s sliders on this “hairy tape” to reduce friction.

1. what is it’s correct name? been searching google and cant find it!
2. already tried B & Q and they don’t stock it. “you need to speak to a window maker”


thanks all.

I think you will find that it is a form of draught excluder for sliding sash windows.
Try a (proper) builders merchant ?

your on the right track's but it's on stickie tape.

Marine projects that built Moodys and Sigmas used a rigid(ish) tape about 6mm wide x 1mm thick with a hairy top. After I spoke with Marine Projects (now Princess yachts) they suggested a supplier in Norfolk (I think) who sent some samples which happened to fit nicely. The tapes slide into an aluminium extrusion and are supposed to stay still.

Of course the hatch sliding too and fro just slides them along with it.

Ahh - just seen the next post - never mind.

Try glue!

I think it is called plush tape. Like the fuzzy half of Velcro tape, perhaps?

The fuzzy side of heavy duty velcro tape does work.

Hi, try comercial vehicle body fitting suppliers (try Stedall, they have a website) I think you might be able to use 'brush seal' which is an aluminium channel with a line of bristles used as a seal on sliding doors etc.
