I want to heat wrap my down pipe, and I've found a seller on ebay selling it by the metre. 50mm wide and 2mm thick. How many metres will I need? Can't see it being much more than 2m, but thought I'd check first :)

Always get a meter more than you think you will need :)

Jesus that was quick! Lol, OK 3 metres it is. It's only £1 a metre, plus 79p postage anyway.

Cheers for the advice. Ended up buying 10 metres with 10 Stainless zip ties for £11.
