[sdiy] Possible Ribbon Controller Material?

Thanks for the replies.

James:  I'd always feared video tape would be too fragile to work with,
though it appears you've been able to use it with success.  Does it wear out
after so long, and you replace it, or does one strip 'last' once you have it
in place?

Tom:  Thanks for the description - the 'coffee filter' stability of the
cloth pretty well turned me off on the idea (I was thinking/hoping the cloth
would be more sturdy) - makes the tape route James mention seem much more
advantageous.

Edward:  I'd love to try QTC, but I have absolutely no idea how to get hold
of the stuff here in the States - didn't Peratech disengage the selling of
it to mere mortals?

Scott - hope the job move was for the better!

Thanks again all,
Scott
