Gorilla Tape leaves a huge sticky residue when you remove it. I currently use 3M #33 electrical tape to cover the caulking bead, it looks OK by the ten foot rule. Because it's only 3/4" wide it doesn't draw too much attention to itself. Rich can vouch for that. Maybe. When we first got the boat, everything leaked. I spent the first winter with every hatch and window taped over, and I found the best tape for that job to be the 3M Performance tape. Good bond, very low residue even after 6 months, and 1 1/2" wide.
