UK vacuum stretchers/hangers

I have been buying the "anti fluid" tape from autoextender in the past, which is quite costly considering the $21.00 postage.

I just bought some "padded strapping tape" from Boots and when I opened it found it was the same! It's the 3M Microfoam tape re-branded. I don't know if this is already common knowledge, just letting you guys know in case.

autoextender (with p&p): $26
boots (in store): £5.19

good to know
just wondering if you found something for the constriction tubes / sleeves as well (the blue silicone sleeves). How often do you have to replace them anyways? I'm just starting out my VacExtender journey

Unfortunately I found I have to replace them quite often (every few weeks). It really depends how much you use them and if you take care. You could always snip the ends that lose their shape to get more use out of them, if you don't need the whole length .

I do not know where else to get them, but I believe some people make their own (guide somewhere, maybe thunders). Try to estimate how long you will use them and buy in bulk to save shipping, might be worth emailing him to try and get a discount.

I recently changed over to the red sleeves which are stronger so they should last longer. I'm using them for hanging.
