electrical tape - "beige" color

OK. I will bite. Why?

Just need it. Sorry, prefer not to say. :-)

You're probably not going to find true electrical tape in beige for an obvious reason. It's too close to white and better colors for identification are available.

Drats! They make duct tape in all sorts of funky colors. Why can't 3M do that for electrical tape?

Okay, what's the closest "stretchy" tape in beige color?

Oh my. I am 20 years behind the time but know by entering "beige tape" into a Google search there will be a million hits

This is probably the closest you'll get to it.

I hate to think what kind of perversion is involved with this request. I strongly recommend shaving first.

Meanwhile, if the OP was more honest, someone would have recommended better search terms.

Try: "flesh colored tape".

They can be creative. Comes down to "is there a market for it?" Not much.

Thanks, but you're no "Meanie". :-)

My first impression of the "brown" electrical tape was that it was way too dark brown. I may take another look.

Oh-yes, I'm sure it would be gobbled up.

Geez, someone (not me) sure has a dirty mind. :-)

Okay, it's ballroom dance shoe related (specifically, for taping cross-shaped suede heel protectors around the heel).

Coban.

You can find it in any pharmacy.

Use the first aid tape. They have some that is pretty much like electrical tape. If you are wrapping something electrical, use regular tape, then take a turn or two of the first aid tape.

Thanks, wonder if "coban" will pick up dirt easily since it looks rough and porous.

The beige/skin color, that is.

You racist son of a bitch!! I'm going to tell Obama and his buddy Sharpton and they'll start an investigation on your racist behavior. Then you'll wish you were as tolerant as they tell us they are.

If that's the story you want us to believe.

Don't overlook that those search terms do turn up some possibilities.

Adam:

I would phone up 3M's 1-800 customer support phone number and ask if they have a beige lane marking tape.

Lane marking tape is often used in hospitals to guide people unfamiliar with the hospital to the places they most frequently need to go, such as the X-ray lab and the caffeteria. Lane marking tape has a very strong initial grab, but it can be pulled off a surface without leaving a glue residue. It's a very strong and waterproof tape that will stand up to people walking on it with dirty winter boots and comes in various widths, and most importantly, a wide variety of colours.

The only problem I can see is that it typically comes in fairly large rolls, and you might not need that much tape.

Another option would be to look in your yellow pages phone directory under Book Binding Equipment & Supplies to see if any of the book binders in your area can order some beige book binding cloth tape for you. This is a very strong linen tape with a very strong adhesive on it that will keep those suede crosses on for a long time.

I'd consider using an elastic band to hold the crosses on, and then wrapping the heel with book binding tape over the elastic band.
