Go to BIG W, search the stationery dept. for Sellotape 50mm wide clear tape.
It's ideal for repairing monofilm, it's tough as nails and costs around $5 per roll.

Hmm. Whitworths in Melbourne cetainly used to sell clear 100mm wide sail repair tape. Brilliant stuff. Can Southport get stock in from elsewhere? (Although not exactly a great profit maker)

Clear Contact works also.

or you can get some red hot stuff from the sailmakers. not sure what its called. but its like contact just thinner and stickier.

I've found Norton All weather tape works well if ur after a strong,durable repair,not as clear as the thinner tapes,(close) but sticks well & uv resistant,can find at major hardware stores,about 11-12 $ for 48mm x 25m roll.
