UPDATE - Over 3 years later & original SOLAS tape still working brilliantly & looks as good as when we fitted it
Buying some more as ideal for our wide car mirrors & folding bikes too - link for current listing at good price £4.95 for 1 metre of 50mm wide tape delivered http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262741867089
Mr Wombles also wanted some black tape that reflects white for areas where you don't want silver blobs like bike helmets & found this 3M brand 580 tape http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Scotch...hash=item1e92b56620:m:mloH660lWJ5YQPSSc0Jz4xg £7.35 delivered for 1 metre of 50mm tape but many sizes available & as low as £2.68 depending on width & length of tape required. Photo from the listing:
Their website is https://reflectivesupplies.co.uk & although they don't list 0.5 metre lengths there it is cheaper at £6.30 delivered for 1 metre of 50mm tape (can pay by Paypal) & lots of choice including precut shapes from splats to cubes & ovals
This is a photo off this informative but more expensive eBay listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Visibility-Self-Adhesive-3M-Scotchlite-580-Black-Reflective-Tape-for-Bikes-/112018183697?var=&hash=item1a14cdd611:m:mpinAkHApzHLWKXGffX14pw
We haven't tried this black tape yet but so long as what is supplied is genuine 3M brand 580 tape it should do what it claims - do love clever products like these! We would always choose the SOLAS tape for maximum reflective effect but good to have another option. If using these helps prevent an accident then worth the small outlay & a bit of of cutting out time.
