+EFD118 Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 That's what I am after, thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment
+Walt Jabsco Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 If you can't find it in the sporting goods section, check the hardware section where they keep the duct tape. That's where our local Walmart keeps it. Quote Link to comment
+dband Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I got mine at Wally World. In with the rest of the duct tape. Quote Link to comment

+fehrgo Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Does anyone know of a source in Australia? I looked a while back, but have had no luck so far. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Any place that sells hunting supplies should sell camo tape. The cloth tape is more expensive than the duct tape but I find it works a bit better, especially if you spray it with a sealant once you've applied it. Quote Link to comment
+LewisClan77 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 but I find it works a bit better, especially if you spray it with a sealant once you've applied it. A brilliant idea I have not thought of while trying to make it Not peel off and look bad Quote Link to comment
Mag Magician Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Check Wally World in the winter. In the hockey stick section, I found camo hockey tape, and it works amazingly well on micros. Problem is, I can't find that hockey tape in the summer, and I've run out. Quote Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 (edited) Take a good look at the camo tape, i have seen two types. There is one typs that was a slight gray tone to it that is not very good because it also has a glossy surface. I have found caches that are covered with this type of tape are easy to see because they reflect the sunlight. The tape the I find is much better has more of a matte finish and has betters tones of green and brown. my first choice in Camo has been to use Camo farbic, you can by this at wally world.

+Trucker Lee Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Picked up seasonal supply yesterday from Wally world in sporting goods. Did you leave me any? Quote Link to comment
+Tsmola Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Is it just me or is camo tape not very effective? I can think of maybe 2 or 3 times off the top of my head that camo tape worked effectively at hiding a cache. The rest of the time it seems to be a giveaway especially if it's the kind that's more reflective. Quote Link to comment

A brilliant idea I have not thought of while trying to make it Not peel off and look bad I used a clear sealant called Klear Kote (or something like that). One container that I treated like this has been out in the wild, fully exposed to the elements for going on 3 years and is still holding up fine. Is it just me or is camo tape not very effective? I can think of maybe 2 or 3 times off the top of my head that camo tape worked effectively at hiding a cache. The rest of the time it seems to be a giveaway especially if it's the kind that's more reflective. The stuff I use (Duck brand from Walmart) isn't particularly shiny and works great. I've seen other stuff that was more shiny, but I still think it's better than leaving most containers with their natural color. Edited July 30, 2007 by briansnat Quote Link to comment
+whistler & co. Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Is it just me or is camo tape not very effective?

The rest of the time it seems to be a giveaway especially if it's the kind that's more reflective. If you use the cloth kind, which is completely non-reflective, it works well in certain situations. We have used it to hide waterproof matchholders "in plain view" against rough maple tree bark with good success. It's not an invisibility cloak, but it blends in better than spray paint.
