Craig,
I found my receipt for the 3M Scotch film. I got it from SRI Racing
and it's really quite a cheap way to buy it. But you have to shape it yourself.
This is 8 mil instead of 6 mil. which I'm excited about trying. If you want
to wait, I'm finishing up my annual condition inspection and will be the test
dummy for this 8mil tape before you buy. I don't expect any surprises, I believe
it will protect a little better.
Rocky

I am interested in this tape. I tried some tape, and it looked good and
went on well, but quickly became abraided and torn, and even started to slip
a little off the end of the blade. If this 8 mil tape works for you I'll
switch to it from the stainless. Its a good prop, but that tape drives me
crazy!!

When I first got my plane it had a three blade GSC that I didn't know was
time-xed. I was having a bit of a problem with abrasion at the tips. It
seemed to draw water through the prop regardless of what I tried (floats).
Almost every day I was filling holes with epoxy paste and dressing it back
to shape. In desperation I tried short strips of bicycle inner tube which
had the edges chamfered very thin to adhere to the prop very similar to a
de-icing boot. That worked very well as the water just bounced off the
rubber but the rubber would come off after about a five hour flight. The
rubber was light enough that no additional vibrations were noticed. What
has come to my mind is just to coat the last inch or so of the leading edges
of the blades with a thin coat of either contact rubber cement or RTV.
Appllied thin en0oo0ugh it would protect the leading edge without adding
enough weight to cause vibrations... and it is easily replacable.

Adjustable Combo.
Rocky:
I also am interested in this tape. I have a three blade composite Woodcomp
prop on my allegro. The leading edges of the blades have nothing more than
what I call "black electrical tape" on them to protect the leading edge. The
centrifugal force of the rotating prop blades causes the tape to continually
creep towards the tips with me continually trimming off the portion that is
hanging off the tip. I need something better than this, but don't know what
will adhere well enough to resist the centrifugal force. Does any one have a
good solution to this?
