I got mine from a shop on ebay. If you go onto ebay and put MIGHTY BRIGHT in the seach bar it will show all the stuff they do. I found the tip tape really good and more importantly very cheap. I have red on one tip and white on the other which helps me, but I think they do lots of other colours as well.

The best stuff is Migty brite from the ebay user crazyplums, he's also a member on WSF, nice guy, very very good tape. He also has a new version of it which is black in normal light but is very very reflective. Great tape.

Go down to your local autofactors and ask them for a sheet of reflective number plate backing.

Cost me about 5euro and I got enough out of it for 4 rods , 2 1/2 - 3 foot coverage on each.

Youl see your rod tips as clear as day at unbelievable ranges :shock:

I've used PTFE plumbers tape for years now and have found it a good substitute.
