But.... patching tape also doubles as band-aids and blister protectors, seeing as it's medical tape. I was ALL OVER this use of patching tape at worlds, as were many others.

Patching tape rocks my world!

Are we talking about the tape that people wrap around their ankles when they get a sprain?

No.

I have an amaretta (an old footfighter to be exact) that has the patching tape peeling/sliding off consistently. Maybe it's the glue, how I store the bag, or age that's affecting it. I don't know.

I'm thinking of using a liquid bandage/pretty adhesive and flexible glue for cases like these.

Use this, its pretty much perfect for patching footbags, it will only require a tiny bit too. Ive never had it come off a bag Ive patched either.
