[MR] WTB: Friction Tape

[Towey, Brian]

Friends and neighbors-

I have searched my local hardware stores in vain for black cloth tape, which
I always called "friction tape."  Young salesman just eye me like I'm asking
for buggy whips, and the oldsters get a misty, long-ago look when I mention
the stuff.  Can it really be so old fashioned?  Am I getting to be that
old?!

I want it for wrapping hand grips, and I find it hard to believe that nobody
anywhere still makes it.  Do any of you know if the stuff is still made and
where I might buy it?
