Re: Novak black tape
It's buried around here somewhere in a thread, but I guess some folks have used the correct width "pin stripe" tape. I guess if you could find that in a black mylar....
Hope you're doin' something fun.

Re: Novak black tape
Just for looks, I used some 6mm Tamiya masking tape that I colored with a Sharpie.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: Novak black tape
I've found that 1/4" pinstripe tape is very similar.

Re: Novak black tape
This, I was going to say Frankentruck told me about the 1/4" pinstriping tape for Novak esc's. I picked some up on the amazon.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Sat Jun 14, 2025 8:23 am I've found that 1/4" pinstripe tape is very similar.

Re: Novak black tape
Tech tip for Vintage Novak Rx.
To reproduce the black sealing tape around Rx all you need is 6mm Tamiya masking tape and black Sharpie.
Not perfect but looks pretty darn good. I’ve done 2 and extremely satisfied with the results.
Excuse me if this has been covered before

Re: Novak black tape
I have used black electrical tape cut into strips.
