"3M 9460PC, is an adhesive transfer type adhesive that was featured in the winter/spring '95 KiteLines Magazine. The article was written by Dick Curran of Puyallup, Washington. It featured various techniques to join ripstop nylon without sewing with this tape. To quote Dick in KiteLines (winter/spring 1995): "While adhesive bonding generally isn't faster than sewing, it has other advantages. It withstands shock loading better, as when a gust hits your kite sail. It spreads the load evenly along the seam, preventing load concentrations at spars and bridle points. This is especially helpful with light materials." We highly recommend obtaining a copy of this article either thru KiteLines or from out "back issue" shelf."
Another article was in American Kite Winter 1996. Cliff Quin of Coopersburg PA provided the plan for his award winning box kite that was made with 9460 tape and Icarex Polyester."
