Hi Jason :) I have seen some kits online that people use the insulation with. Personally I don't use that - just nice grippy gaff tape and some other vinyl or fancy tape for decoratin' :) I put the gaff tape on last to cover the edges of the other tapes! Have fun with the process!

I'm making my first hoop today. I bought the copper pipe insulation that Jason mentions - but it doesn't LOOK like anybody uses it - do you? Or do you just tape over the piping?

so im thinking of making a hoop with fabric...somewhat fur like...but not super furry....(like those boot covers you see) i was wondering, if its possible to make it using one stripe of fabric, and a stripe of metallic or glitter tape, and using gaffer as the in between to over lap the two....or if the gaffer will just peel off the fabric part?

question: I will be in europe soon, I am curious if these materials are available there as well (Berlin). Is there another specification I should look for?
