Rescue Tape

True.

plain old superglue works just fine on skin injuries but is not much good for subdermal work.

Correct - among other things it has made heart and lung transplants a lot more practical - used (together with a few stitches) to join blood vessels - a lot easier and quicker to get a sealed joint than just stitching at arterial pressures.

I got some in the states a couple of years ago. There is a great article in
4WD Action this month. The Australian distributors email address is rescuetapeautralia@bigpond.com

I contacted them and they sent me a spec sheet. He said it is available in marine stores nationally but should be available at OL stores in the coming weeks. Its good stuff , goes out to 260c etc

Rescue tape I got was 25mm x 3.6m for $15.95. I found it easy to keep the bulldust off it by leaving it in the bags until it was ready to use.
