I have 2 inch gray self fusing tape on Touché. Put on several overlapping wraps. In my opinion, it's the best. Been on for several years now and is still in good condition. Absolutely leak tight once you fill the main sail slot with sealant like LifeSeal.
The gray blends in with the aluminum mast and collar so it's barely noticeable. Highly recommended. Bought it on eBay. Dennis C.
