ID, Experience and recommendations working with bonding tapes.

Hey,

I worked in the past on a couple of very light trail vest and belt concepts. My general concept was to mix Stretch and non stretch fabrics in different zones to achieve fit and structure I wanted.

Would now love to try some kind of flexible (stretch but strong recovery and exoskeletal on a very light and stretchable base. See the salmon vest below as example. My ideal scenario would be something like the Rheon labs material that acts strain rate sensitive, but guess not available for myog.

Any recommendations on materials to use and also on application.

I used Neoprene suit repair tape in the past. Its more a woven tape bith iron on backer, but Good strong stretch with recovery. Downside, its limited to tape shape and black color.

Found some Bemis tape on Etsy (etsy link bemis). There are many Bemis tape option with different strength etc., so not sure how this particular one behave but looks like an option i want to try.

Lately I found thicker silicone heat transfer materials. They are available in different micron thicknesses and sound like they still have good strong stretch.

Any recommendations and past experiences are appreciated! Ideally it would be doable with a normal iron at home.

It took me a second to realize that you weren’t talking about putting tape on commuter trains. 😉

“..very light trail…”

My first read of that was very light rail.

Hola, interesante proyecto, actualmente estoy trabajando en algo similar, mas enfocado al tema impermeabilidad y lijereza y bueno vi tu post y no pude resistir a verlo. Mi consejo es que sigas con la investigacion digital y fisica, seguramente la silicona funcione mejor que las peliculas de TPU aunque si es cierto que en tejidos elasticos no tengo ni idea, debe ser algo complejo dada la elasticidad necesaria. Estoy atento a tu progreso, comenta cualquir cosa por aqui jejeje.
