Hi all,
Thanks for the very numerous replies about map repair tape and spray-on
waterproofing. A summary of the results:
Consensus was very definitely for "Filmoplast P90" self-adhesive paper tape
by the German company Neschen. 3/4" x 164" roll sells for about $20.
Gaylord had a selection of cloth tape with either self-stick or
water-soluble adhesive.
A third option was Archbond heat-set tissue by a British firm.
For spray waterproofing, the consensus seemed to be Map Seal:

Again, thanks for all the replies.
Cheers
