I think moop proofing edge tape can be alot of different tape styles. I'd save the good stuff on that part and use bifilament for the tarp job. That part is critical to my nearly hermetically sealed experience.
The width matters when taping to the tarp. Wider tape goes faster... -- Sent from my Palm Prē On Aug 13, 2010 12:50 PM, Shannon <[email protected]> wrote: I have used 3 so far. I still need to do tape anchors and the tarp to the inside. However, I am sure a cheaper tape could be used for that.

All said and done, this will be 3 rolls of filament tape and I still have to secure it to the playa, tape the roof to the side panels and probably some miscellaneous stuff along with taping the tarp to the inside.
