The TSI shadowband is a black strip of tape. It should last several years before needing replacement. You can get this locally or from YES. At very remote sites you can leave a rolled up strip of tape tucked inside the electronics enclosure. If you avoid using strong cleaners on the mirror the tape should last a long time.
