From: Charlie England Well, I took a shot at living in both worlds. The blue stripe is painter's tape. Trying to keep primer & finish off the bond line on trailing edge & aileron leading edge. Hoping to complete the finish, then get a good bond on the finish tape as gap seal, then do the finishing on the finishing tape. :-) A bit more trouble than binding tape, but less hassle than trying to flip the wing repeatedly without assistance. I'll let the list know how it works out. As a reminder, I'm using Ekobond for fabric attachment, and latex for primer/finish.

There's the matter of cleaning up the old tape residue that seems to remain more on the fabric than on the tape. I have yet to see any sticky tape stay stuck when used as a gap seal, especially in the area of that pusher prop. > > I took a great deal of time and pride in my airplanes.
