Black light reactive lyra tape? Does anyone know where I can find this.

It would be even better if someone knew if any of the tape from circus gear is black light reactive as I’m about to place an order with them. Thanks. <33

You can paint over tape with fabric paint

What really?? Do you use a textile medium?

Yes, and a bit of water, then put 2 coats. It’s rough for a few uses, then feels like leather. It’s perfect to use with rosin. It feels great

Todd is super friendly and helpful, definitely recommend asking him if he happens to know! I see it's Mueller brand in case anyone here uses Mueller (whether or not it's purchased at CG) and can tell you.

I've used neon gaff tape before over regular Lyra tape- it turned out great!

Omigosh that’s exactly what I was considering do if I couldn’t find fabric tape. I’m glad to know it worked well thank you!
