Default Tape for track building

Can anybody recommend somewhere to buy some gaffer tape for trackbuilding? Our club needs some and I'm on a mission to find some for a good price!
Cheers

We at Ardent buy all ours from Screwfix, they do white tape which is nice on white tubes and extra wide grey tape for carpet. I think they are the best on price too. :-)

We've ordered from gaffa before and their products are very variable quality, some of it has been complete rubbish, some rolls stick, others are useless! Infact you've probably used some when you've been down to Worksop on a saturday night.

I now have a new supplier with really good stuff, it was £2/roll last year, i could get you some (might have gone up a bit this year, not sure..?)

Glad you tipped me off about poor quality, thought that it was too much a good deal! I will find out how we can get some club money to you, cheers
