    What kind of liquid electrical tape used to mend bellows?

    I might be getting an old Burke and James Grover 8x10. I expect the bellows will need fixing.
    Read somewhere on the forum about liquid electrical tape and that you can use that to fix the bellows.
    What kind works for bellows? (Yes, it must be black )
    I'll probably have to order from abroad as it doesn't seem to exist here in Sweden.

    Thanks for any help.

    It's called "Liquid Tape", sold in many U.S. hardware stores. I don't know about the shipping/mailing regulations.

    Turned this up - http://compare.ebay.com/like/3705536...Types&var=sbar

    Adrian, the stuff I used is called just that, "Liquid Electrical Tape". I found it at a big-box store, Home Depot, in the USA. My local hardware store didn't carry it. Perhaps a professional construction-supply house in Sweden will have it.

    Bought mine at Lowes and last week found it in Walmart in the Automotive department. ( near spark plug wires).

    I have been using automotive RTV for decades but will try this kit I got from Bostick-Sullivan next time.
