 Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2011 7:14 am Post subject: UHMW tape alternative - MUCH BETTER! |
 |
|
I never liked the UHMW tape because it rapidly yellows. Years ago I
found that 3M paint protection film was infinitely better for this
job. It doesn't yellow, stretches around mild compound curves easily,
and can be removed WITHOUT leaving any residue whatsoever up to 5+
years later WITHOUT harming the paint beneath.
I liked it so much that I immediately began selling it on our web
store. Here's the link:
http://www.flyboyaccessories.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1
It has uses all over your plane, under fairings, under canopy
ducktails, anywhere that your paint is subject to wear or scratching.
Thanks,

The paint shop that painted my airplane three years ago, used this stuff. http://www.papa-mike.com/cart/home.php
It has been fantastic. It has not yellowed and the paint shop said it will not yellow. PM Research claims the same on their site. I replaced some on my nose gear wheel pant and gear leg fairing after doing some work on them. It goes on easily with a mixture of water/alcohol/and dish soap. Makes it very easy to apply. The old stuff came off very easily. It appears to be the same stuff that is on the front of my wife's car for rock protection. It is a bit thicker than UHMW, so tends to rub the underside of the wing when used on the leading edge of the flaps. It sounds like pretty much the same stuff flyboys sells. It is very pricey compared to UHMW, but it is way better stuff.

David,
You say the old stuff came off very easily, yet others have said the UHMW was difficult to remove. So how did you get yours off easily, I'm going to be replacing mine soon.

Harry, sorry about the misunderstanding. The "old stuff" I was referring to, was the PM Research material. I have never had any UHMW on my airplane. The paint shop put the PM Research material on after the airplane was painted, and I removed some of it a couple of years later when I was doing some repair on my nose wheel pant.

David,
Nuts, I was hoping you had found an easy way to remove the UHMW. Thanks for clarifying anyway.
