PowerTape in Detail
Cover tape finishes a PowerFlex foundation wrap with a rigid, low-stretch outer layer. Widths of 1, 1.5 and 2 inches cover finger, wrist and ankle taping patterns. The #130 line is the manufacturer's elastic athletic tape construction for cover work. Each roll carries 15 yards of tape, so one roll finishes multiple taping jobs.
