Taping up weight end of flag

I took Rich's suggestion and taped it up with black electrical tape and now the weight is just right.

Rich, any suggestions for applying the tape? It was nice and taught at first but has started to loosen up some.

Why not find some yellow tape to cover the flag if what color the flag is does not matter?

Peace

Well I didn't have yellow electrical tape in my garage. I did have black. I'm cheap.

I get it, but I am just saying. BTW, do they make yellow electric tape?

I hear you. I figured black was OK because it is a color found on flags now. Now silver duct tape. Not so much.

It wouldn't surprise me if they made yellow electrical tape but I can't recall seeing it off hand.

Edit: Just searched on Google and they do in fact make it.

Maybe I'll get some in traffic vest yellow just to really make that flag show.

If I had tape that matched my flag exactly, I'd use it. Since I don't and black and white are colors on us that I *do* have, I use those.

If my flag was weighted enough without the tape, I'd not bother with the tape at all.
