    I used standard reinforcing tape, available from Kitfox, etc. If I remember correctly, it was 1/2" wide and I used two strips, side by side, per cap strip.

    The tape I have is a hering bone cotton tape. I am not sure what is supplied in the Kitfox kit. Some tapes can be polyester. If you can elaborate on the material that would be great.

    It is polyester with adhesive on one side.

    Used the same tape as John - from the kit. Worked nicely.
