What kind of tape can I use for stretching?
I have 1 inch gauges and I don't really have the money to go out and buy tapers... I've heard electric tape works, but I've also heard it can fuse with your ear and leak chemicals. I don't really know what to do or think on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

U are supposed to use PTFE tape. A plumbers tape that is very malliable and not porous and contains no glues/harmful chemicals. =D happy stretchin foo

PTFE Tape is your best bet. I've had friends that have used electrical tape, and they haven't had any problems, but I'm sure that it could cause problems. Also with the tapers, I don't think stores sell above one inch tapers, at least I haven't seen them. You would have to go online and see, and I'm sure they aren't expensive online my friend. 
Currently Stretched At: 1-1/8in
