Need help finding high quality fabric camo tape.

I would like to dress some parts of my Leshiy in a snow camo pattern. I think it goes by a few other names, black and white camo, but it's basically a multicam pattern made with whites, blacks, and grays.

I'm very much a novice in this area but I'd like a high quality fabric that I can put my cheek against. I'm looking on Amazon and eBay and most of the fabric wraps look more like gauze wrap - all stretchy and bumpy - am I wrong? Do they smooth out once stretched into place? Also - I think I would want sheets I can cut 5-7" strips off rather than multiple 2" wraps from a roll.

Thanks in advance.
 
I have purchased several of the ones off amazon that looks like the gauze or bandage wrap. I use it for short periods of time and remove it when I get in from hunting. The reason I do this is I have a tennis racket that I leave on my deck to use on Japanese hornets and wasps lol. when I wrapped the handle and left it in the baking hot summer sun it became sticky and tacky to the touch. Therefore there is no way I would leave it on any of my airguns for a lengthy period of time at all. in short lengths it has saved them from scuffs and bumps hunting in the woods for sure but always removed afterwards . I hope this helps a lil. 😉
 
Not quite 'snow" but I can get digital snow I believe in small too... Not fabric... Vinyl...

It's quality stuff, 5 or 10 year vinyl... it doesn't feel weird to me, I have Carbon Fiber on my air tube, it's 3D cast vinyl, so it has a raised surface it feels better than the bare aluminum, some of the vinyl's are very sturdy, some are very thin to conform to curves... They're usually 1 to 3 mil thick... If you want to experiment, you can buy it on Amazon, all different patterns or color or carbon or foils etc, my graphics are cut on a professional vinyl cutting plotter, I design the pieces for each model of gun, I'm working on the brocock concept lite receiver now... You can try and cut by hand...

I can say the fit/feel of the vinyl is nice. Ken did a great job making the pieces fit in all the tight areas...I did a quick 550 wrap on my air tube just to give me a little more height. I'm sure I will be getting another set to change the look of my little pea shooter 25 Cal @830 fps 350mm barrel.

Very cool IMHO 👍
 
I tried the various wraps and covers for hunting for about 4 years because I wanted to be able to return to a 'black' factory look but finally figured out that it was actually a hassle doing that and just went with rattle can spray that could be applied to fit any climate or season... It seemed more durable in the field and is easily touched up. AND if I want to change it a wipe with a solvent soaked rag removed it from the rifle for the next camo job. Not too worried about plastic parts either, just use the right solvent and you will not damage them. I usually Duracoat in Dessert Tan which is the harder part as a permanent base coat then the spray paint goes on top and later when it's time to change comes off leaving the permanent base ready for the next version.

Lots of stencils, sea sponge blotting, or fog misting techniques and you can easily teach yourself (dozens of instructional videos on Internet/YouTube) how. Takes me about 40 minutes every time I redress a rifle.

Using white, gray n black a winter camo is easy.
 
I can definitely understand why @TarheelScott would not want to leave the gauze type wraps on his guns too long due to residue produced from the material heating up in the sun over time. However, I’m curious as to the ability and effects of the camo wrap material absorbing and trapping moisture from the air and consequently rusting or corroding metal parts or possibly damaging the finish on wooden stocks and grips. The labeling says that the material is washable, reusable, and contains latex. After multiple wraps or overlapping layers I’d imagine that the material traps moisture. Has anyone encountered these issues? If you don’t leave the camo wrap on your guns long term, how long do you leave it on the gun before removing it? I’m asking as someone living in a humid southern region.
