I didn't realize that it was a brand.

But I'm sure other quality sheathing tape is available in the US.<br /><br />Jundee<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-23648167206416621982013-12-09T14:01:41.862-08:002013-12-09T14:01:41.862-08:00I wonder if it can be ordered online.I wonder if it can be ordered online.The Holmes Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512620912625850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-72052163179770691052013-12-09T11:12:06.408-08:002013-12-09T11:12:06.408-08:00Red Tuck Tape is a Canadian product of sheathing t...Red Tuck Tape is a Canadian product of sheathing tape.
