It uses a dense foam rubber base with a smooth, rubber, upper and lower surface. There is no adhesive on the back of the ribbon. Each wind of the ribbon is held in place by the tackiness of the rubber surface, so it can washed and re- wrapped. The Ribbon comes with two rolls that are 1" wide by 88" long. Also included are four 3 1/2 inch tape pieces to fit to hold the finished inner end down, and two Rodon, Black, hard plastic bar end plugs.
