Dan,

Is this actual tape? It sounds like flattened biax. sleeve. Bi-axial sleeve is knitted I think, not woven, different kind of machine. My info is truthfully quite old, we used to use rolls and rolls of fabric and glass in production and try as I could I had to have bi-axial fabric cut and stitched together because it couldn't be woven, the machines couldn't do that.

True enough about failures, other than production boats I don't remember ever hearing of one failing at the gunwale joint.
