I've got one with no back-plate that SkyStar sent me years ago. Never been trimmed or used. If anyone needs one, contact me via PM.

We have a winner! I'm going to order some of this stuff. There are probably lots of other uses besides gap seal.
Thanks,

I saw what you describe just today. The guy had a strip of this stuff that the Pitts guys use. Problem is, our gap is too wide to use it.

Paul,

Guy, I thought about using packing tape, but wondered how it would hold up to UV. This Sailrite.com ripstop nylon repair tape looks pretty interesting. It's not meant as a permanent repair, so I d ... |

Permanent, yes, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to do. For starters I'd need some fabric. Haven't seen any of that laying around for about nine years. I would also have to paint it. ... |

Thank you Rick,
The only thing I worry about with the duct tape is how I've seen the silver separate from the adhesive backing and leave that crusty adhesive welded to the surface. But then per ... |
