SNIP <<<<<
The clear UHMW flap tape on my always-hangared ten year old 6A is
yellowing and peeling at the edges. Can this tape be removed without
also taking off the aircraft-specific paint? Sorry, I don't remember
the brand of paint.
I pulled it back in a couple of areas and it seemed to separate fine but
I would like to hear from someone who "has been there" before attempting
to remove it all.
The present tape came from Vans and I would like to replace it with
their reasonably-priced clear UHMW. Otherwise I'll go shopping for
white UHMW. >>>>>SNIP
We carry 4" wide 3M paint protection film that is perfect for this purpose. It's reasonably priced, removable, and will never yellow. $2.45/foot.

Once again, it's removable up to at least 5 years later with NO mess. I use it on my Rocket around the fairings, flaps, etc. And it will NOT yellow. Ever. You'll find many uses for it. Good stuff.
