Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | Does anyone know what the black material is made of on the older Ovation brown cases? I am talking about the black tape like stuff that goes around the metal part in the center of the case. I took if off one of my old cases, and I would like to find something to replace it with. Is this stuff some sort of tape? Does anyone know what I could use for this? Where I could find it? |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Look up a case company called TKL. They may know what it was. They didn't make them then but do now. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Paul, I did exactly the same thing - removed the tattered old tape. I replaced it with 1/2 or 3/4 (forget) inch wide black cloth electrical tape. Fit perfectly and looks great. Cost me about 2 bucks and I have 99% of the roll of tape left over. I would send it to you, but honestly, you can buy it for less than it would cost to mail it. |

Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | Thanks guys, Dave did you glue the cloth electical tape on the case? I am trying to remove the old glue that is still on the case. That stuff is tough. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I cleaned the old glue residue off with "Goo-Gone". The tape is just attached with it's own stickiness. |

I did the same thing that Dave described. It is old electrical cloth tape with a very sticky back...works better than the original stuff they had. |

Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | I looked at every electrical supply place in town today. Two places had the cloth electrical tape, but both of those were white. I sure am having trouble finding the black cloth tape. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Paul, Electricians go through this black tape like a pit bull goes through a pork-chop. The store must have it. Are you sure you are asking for the right stuff? It's just called "cloth electrical tape". I've never seen white, only black. |

Location: Lafayette, Louisiana | Dave, that is what I asked for. They all had the regular electrical tape, but the cloth tape really messed them up. I got an email from Willard, he is going to send me a roll. Thanks Willard! |
