Re: Silver Duct Tape

Probably not, but try to avoid letting it look like any of the vision targets surrounding the goals.
While it is shiny, it's not retroreflective, so it's not much shinier than polished aluminum.

Re: Silver Duct Tape

How would I make it not look like any of the vision targets?

Re: Silver Duct Tape

You could try to dull the shininess a little bit by sanding with a fine git sand paper.

I think Don meant shape wise. As he said, reflective is very different from retro-reflective. You are unlikely to have any issue.

Re: Silver Duct Tape

Yes, shape-wise.

Re: Silver Duct Tape

I would recommend dulling it anyway. There can be a lot of lights on the field, and I wouldn't want to risk reflecting it into someone's eyes. Although it all depends on the shiny-ness of the tape. And if someone knows the unit for that, I would be thankful if they shared!
