[nfbmi-talk] Colors Question

Wed Jan 4 00:04:11 UTC 2012

Hi Mary,

Here's something from another list...One for VRTs...It appears Maxi-Aids no 
longer carries the Teflon SKived Taped. But ILA does though it seems to have 
drawbacks at least from this thread...

Good morning VRT's
Hope all of you had a great weekend and will have a fantastic week.
Got a question.
I am looking for Teflon tape. ½ inch
Maxi Aids no longer carries it
ILA carries it in 2 inch width

Any ideas where I can get some?
Thanks,
Deanna
