Paul,

Check out www.cumulus-soaring.com = <http://www.cumulus-soaring.com>   Look for Bowlus M= axi Gap Seal Tape, Width: 1", White, Length: 36 yards

This works really well for me on a Legacy. Sticks well enough such that it = stays in place, stretches well – plus, isn’t so sticky to the ex= tent that it doesn’t try to take paint off when you remove it!  T= his is what the glider guys use.


Regards,

John
