The S.S. tape readily accepts polishing and has performed very well except that after several years, the edges are beginning to lift in a few places. It has very sharp edges indeed. At the time, I was not aware of the techinque, but if I ever replace that tape I will take the time to remove the flaps and install the tape underneath the wing skins where it will serve its anti-chaffing function while remaining out of sight.

It certainly has lasted a long time and looks ok. Eventually I added some UHMW tape to the upper wing surface which meets the steel tape. I personally prefer the plastic. It offers less friction, doesn't wrinkle like the steel and doesn't cut fingers. Also easier to apply. I consider the steel tape an ugly pain in the arse but it won't wear out so I still got it. Maybe its just me? I can't seem to wear out the plane either. 2485 hours now in 13 years.
