I have a 1992 Mac 26s that needs the black tape at the water line replaced. I can get one of these wheels to remove the old tape. Can someone point me to a good source for the new replacement tape ? http://detailgear.com/index.asp?PageAct ... ProdID=200

Re: Where to get new tape for water line stripe ?
I replaced the bootstripe on my 91', and used the stuff Matt mentioned. I didn't know about that wheel. I used a heat gun, and carefully applied just enough heat to soften the tape and just pulled it off. Then I cleaned the surface with acetone and applied the new stripe. I also put the one on top, comes in three stripe rolls.

I would remove all tape, scrub off residue,sand with 150 sandpaper,clean with acitone.
Use blue 1 inch painters tape to form new line and gel-coat black with small roller,2-3 coats min. Use Gel-coat unwax and final coat with wax additive you can add.

I've got a huge roll of "red" bootstripe tape from my old boat if you want it. I don't remember where I got it, but it was easy to install.
