I used the foam sealing tape sold for house windows
weather sealing,etc. comes in different widths and thickness generally
with a sticky side. I just find the thickness/width that fill in the gap
and stick it to the outside of the duct. I have found that the adhesive
that comes with the tape may not be sufficient, so I use some of the 3M
adhesive. This approach is cheap and easy to replace and modify. The
tape can usually be found in white, grey and black colors.

Subject: [FlyRotary] cooling duct
seal?
Greetings,
I did the first test fit
of my cooling ducts, and there's hope for them. I still haven't decided
exactly what I'm going to do to seal the front of the duct to the cowl
inlet. There's only about 1/8" gap at most, and I'm thinking that it
will probably work fine without any additional seal, however, I'll probably
try to put some sort of foam strip to get some sort of a
seal.
I looked through all the
pics I have, and can't find a picture that shows the front of anyone's
duct. How are you guys sealing these to the cowls?
Pictures???
Cheers,
Rusty
