'''Strapping tape''' is a clear plastic tape with fiberglass strands running along the length of the tape. The fiberglass strands are extremely strong, but the tape is weak along the "grain" of the strands. It is useful for adhering a foam cap or coin on the end of a core or in penny-tipping an arrow. Furthermore, it can add a lot of durability to the tip of a weapon by sandwiching a piece between 2 layers of duct tape on the flats. | '''Strapping tape''' is a clear plastic tape with fiberglass strands running along the length of the tape.
