Hi
In June the BoM introduced its new numerical model and at the same time
provided new interactive maps and charts that allow you to look up to 7

Hi Grant,
To get tape glue residue off easily use a supermarket product called "Oomph".
It is used mostly to take bar code and label glues off stuff you buy but I have
used it on gap seal tape residue and it works very well. Better than other
solvents.

I've used Bowlus Maxi Tape for ages and would recommend it.
Is Bruce Taylor still the distributor?

Neoprene as in wetsuits might do.
You might

The possible drawback with some ideas, including the "digitised" WAC
charts is that the base resolution is not very high. When you change
the scale of view, or print size, you may get fuzzy or pixelated type
or it may be too small to see.
The Maptrax WAC charts appear to be just scanned charts and
