Great idea Alan, esp. attaching them ‘backwards’!
I will have to use some old cassette tapes instead.
What do you use to attach/stick them to the sail?

Thanks all for the replies. I’ll go with McLube on my dacron genoa luff
telltales of yarn.
I’m getting my main back from Sail Care this week with new nylon telltales.
