Abstract
The casting tape substrate of the present invention is coated with a very soft, low modulus binder which is compatible with the polyurethane prepolymer or other curable resin which will be subsequently coated onto the substrate to form the casting tape. The binder prevents the cut ends of the substrate from unraveling. The binder may be applied in a pattern or continuously to the entire length of the substrate or may be applied at spaced zones where the knitted substrate will be cut to form a particular length of casting tape.
