Black Dacron Tape (also called Insignia Tape or Mark-Cloth) should be used to repair all cuts in the leading edge and struts of an inflatable kite. The Dacron tape will provide the strength needed to repair small cuts without creating a huge mess to undo later if you decide to get the repair done professionally. Some kiters also use it as a preventive on spots on the leading edge that are starting to show wear. They apply this tape over that spot to prevent further abrasion to the kite material. Made by Bainbridge, it's often sold under the retail label PKS. Width=2" Length=5' Shop Note: Leading edge and strut cuts should always be professionally repaired and stitched (sewn). Dacron tape can be used as a quick fix to get you back on the water.

Great vendor to work with, good product.
I got this to repair a mylar sailboat sail. I used the adhesive to stick the patch over one of the batten pockets then stitched it down.

Worked great!
Worked perfectly for several dacron repairs on my primary kiteboard kite. Thought I was going to have to replace the kite, but this tape has bought me another season or so on it.
