Where to buy pedalboard tape and standoffs?

You can get pedalboard tape from the Gigrig website although I imagine it’s ridiculously overpriced from them. Try searching eBay for 3M Dual love tape as I believe that’s what it is anyways? I may be wrong. 

The self adhesive standoffs are readily available on eBay for a couple of quid.

I googled 'love tape' and ended up on an S&M Fetish site. You can imagine my horror.

ah, good question, what width do people get for the pedaltrain rails? (sorry for the high jack, last time I bought Velcro it ended up being half the width)

Theres no such thing as pedalboard tape...”that pedal show” keeps referring to it, to make it sound like its something special. 

its just dual lock tape, Velcro make it and 3M makes it too...you can get it from most hardware shops or amazon.

i was hoping someone had a source cheaper than£10 or so a metre but that was about the best I could find so ordered some from Amazon

B&Q doesn't have sausage sizzle on a Sunday. A highlight of my recent oz trip.

Forgive the ignorance but what are the ‘standoffs’ used for?

Ps. You need very little dual lock
 A quarter of what you'd use with normal velcro

For attaching zip-ties to hold waywatlrd patch and power cables still. 

If you use a lift out board with cabling underneath (a la Pedaltrain, Rockboard etc) it's easy to accidentally dislodge something and find out at the most inconvenient time.
