I'll vouch for anything that Jim says! Besides, it's Sunday. You are correct about the residue for any of the duct type tapes. I've used a light application of a heat gun to some advantage when removing them. Messy though. Next time I have window problems, I'm going to make stainless or aluminum frames to cover the hull/window intersection. Someone did that a couple of years ago and it looked very good.

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. <http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M_Industrial/Tapes/Products/Masking-Duct-Tapes/Duct-Tape-8979/> On 25 November 2012 07:28, Rich Knowles <r...@sailpower.ca> wrote: > Hah!
