The tape is cheap and easy to install. >> Gregg / Kolb Friends - I also initially used the clear plastic bookbinding tape for aileron & flaps gap seals on my Mark-3. Strong and flexible, and it worked fine for about 6 years. Then, the tape began to dry out and started cracking and falling off. Before another year had passed, most of the original bookbinding tape on my ailerons (where most movement occurs) was gone. I knew I needed to replace the tape, but I wanted something that would last longer. So instead of the clear book tape, and following the recommendation from someone on this Kolb List (forgot who), I used sailboat repair tape. It's lightweight dacron cloth tape, very sticky, comes in a 4-inch wide roll. I split the tape evenly lengthwise (yielding two 2-inch wide strips), and stuck them back together with a one-inch overlap, sticky-side to sticky-side. The resulting 3-inch wide strip of tape was easy to apply, attaching on the top of the wing, and the underside of the aileron. For now, it's only covering the gaps on the ailerons, and it's only been there for a year. When the clear book tape finally crumbles away from the other areas (flaps, elevator, rudder gaps), I'll replace it with the sail repair tape. I have no idea how long the Dacron sail tape will last. But it was fun to try something different!

I used it on my parachute for at least 20 jumps, then sold the chute.Tape was still like new.
