TLC sell it for £2.10 for a 19mm x 10metre roll. Hardly bank breaking.

I would guess you would get 25+ applications off one roll ?

I use it on my Cove and its spot on.

It's only expensive if you buy from places that make their money out of taking the piss 😉 But IMO it's not that great for a protector, it's thin (especially when stretched) so it can rip up fairly easily, I went back to inner tubes.
