 Posted: Sat Aug 22, 2015 7:07 am Post subject: Striping tape |
 |
|
While reworking a friend's cowling I learned that striping tape is easy to get off, just shave it off with a single edge razor blade. Getting the tape's adhesive off is another matter. The stuff is absolutely tenacious and the solvents that remove it also remove Polytone. If you're thinking of using striping tape on fabric, make sure you really, REALLY like your paint job and have no intention of repainting at some point in the future. If you're unsure keep the striping tape away from glued joints or tapes as you are very likely to weaken or completely destroy their bond while trying to remove the adhesive.

I'll bet there are some crossed electrons. There is tape to define painted stripes, and then there's tape that makes stripes...
