AVON Seam tape

Hi all.
Anybody know if this would be the right tape for an 80ķes AVON Searider?

Sounds like a fair price to me.

Always thought that Hypalon seam tape was simply an additional strip of hypalon glued over the main seam...

Looking at my Avon Redcrest I think the seam tape is much thinner than the standard hypalon used for the tubes. On my Humber RIB, however, the tape is the same thickness as the rest.
