What super strong, transparent non-yellowing yet not too expensive Helitape can you recommend please?

Particularly one that sticks 'round corners.....

The bestest (imo) / thickest non yellowing stuff for mtbs is the 'rebranded' stuff from JRA. As far as I can tell its made by 3M and model 8561HS. Sometimes the same is for sale (ex mod) on ebay for much cheaper.

I asked around at a helicopter maintanance company in the local airport, they were happy to let me have the end of rolls they dont use.
It's the 3M non-yellowing stuff.

Can't get cheaper than that either!

You just need to have an airport close, or a aircraft maint. company.

Without a doubt, the tape from justridingalong.com is mega. Thick, goes on easy, no bubbles and just does what its meant too.
