    DTV36EDS, 95W LNB, and AMC4

    Where to buy eternabond or bishop tape?

    Does anyone know where I can buy Bishop tape (tar tape) or eternabond in the SF Bay area? I can't seem to find it at Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace Hardware. What do people prefer? Bishop tape or Eternabond? I'm super worried about having a leaky roof!!! Thanks!
