My plane is not yet painted.  I want to put wing walk material on after I

get it painted, but looks like it might be a while.  Anybody know what works

best as a temporary material that will come off easily when time to paint?



Thanks

Tim

I've seen people use the wide electrical tape, not the

plastic stuff, the type that looks as if it has nylon

or cotton material in the tape. It was very durable,

showed people where to step and made the surface not

slippery when wet. I guess it did its job...

I saw a Lancair IV-P driver use what looked like a bathtub mat.  It had 

suction cups on one side.  He slapped it down on the wing, got in, then 

reached over and removed it.  No drag, nothing permanent.

Tim, I've used a vinyl sign making product from 3m. Instead of a

smooth color, they make a frosted type that simulates etched glass. It has a

textured surface that gives some grip. It lasts a long time, takes abuse and

removes fairly easy (it's opaque). I use it for protecting painted surfaces

as well. 

	Another product that comes in handy is the carpet protector, sold at

home depot-lowes. It a clear film that has a "post it" type of adhesive. So

its temporary at best, but protects well..

	Part of my biz consists of a custom graphics shop, so I'm sure I've

got 3m frosted stuff kicking around. Email me off list and I'll send you a

square to test. If you decide you need some, I can precut to emulate the

wing walk. Also I can run it through our plotter to cut any shape (even cut

letters into it), just cover cost of materials.
