[T3] Rubber Flormat Preservation

Would something like duct tape do the job?  It's reinforced and I would have
thought the glue should hold up to movement.  You can get self-amalgamating
tape but I don't know if it would perform better.

Subject: [T3] Rubber Flormat Preservation

I have a set of nice rubber floormats in my '69 Fastback.  These are the
large mats that connect the left and right sides and go over the center hump
-- one mat for the front and one mat for the rear.  With some splits and
tears (caused largely by careless storage a few years
back) the mats have become pretty fragile.  I would like to keep using these
mats, but I want to reduce the rate of decay and keep them intact.  A couple
of months back I applied some PVC tape (pipe wrap) to the backsides of the
mats behind splits, but it does not stay stuck very well.  Is there a
vulcanizing tape that would work here?
