My 1984 scamp has yellow seam tape

Does anyone know a replacement for the seam tape used for the insulation seams? It kinda seems like foam.

Elephant Hide?

Sounds like you have elephant hide and not rat fur liner. On my 81 with elephant hide I remove the seam tap and caulked the seams, texturing the caulk to match the hide. Seams pretty much disappeared. Then I painted the hide liner with Zinnser White. Came out fantastic, new, and easy to touch up any marks going forward.

sorry for late reply; yes elephant hide

Sorry, been so busy moving out of my 4 bedroom condo into the Scamp.   I am wondering about whether the insulation will take a coat of paint?  It seems weirdly tacky.  I haven't tried washing the surface to strip whatever is there off.  But had difficulty affixing the split loom wires attaching points to the surface- only crazy glue worked.  I like the idea of hiding the seam though...
