I got mine from Raka over a year ago. Fortunately, it's only on the inside of the boat, so it won't show so much once the deck's on. I think I read somewhere recently that this is pretty common for 9 oz tape. The 6 oz cloth on the outside (which I also got from Raka) looks fine. I even added some extra 6 oz cloth to some of the areas I expect to get a lot of wear. They wet out just fine too. From now on, I'll be cutting my own tape from scraps of the 6 oz cloth.
