Just had to add the real benefit of using tape instead of paint? Paint requires a good weather window during and for several drying hours after, plus a light sanding and a second coat. Tape is easier to apply and once you're done, you are done, no cleanup and it can rain on it right away.

Hey Dave, 7 years ago, I removed the original gold stripe and used 3/4" black striping tape from West Marine for the cove stripe. I cut the stars, diamonds and swords from 1" tape, same color. I use PoliGlow and the result is amazing. I removed the old tape the hard way: heat gun, putty knife, much time. Wrong way to do it. 2 years ago I added two lines of 2" black tape above my boot stripe. Looks great. Finally got the look I wanted. Black trim on a white hull. It stands out.

Got it. My stripe resides in a molded recess to make re-applying easier, but will the wheel work in that recess? David F.

From: cnc-list@cnc-list.com CC: billbinal...@gmail.com I would highly recommend removing the old tape. Just make sure to measure and mark when it goes with a grease pencil before removing the original. I measured the distance to the underside of the hull/deck joint every couple of feet. 3M has a special stripe removal wheel for about $40 that you spin with a drill and it removes the tape and residue without harming the underlying gelcoat or paint. Ask at a body shop supply and they will fix you right up. Bill Bina On 9/22/2015 11:02 AM, David via CnC-List wrote: We are re-doing ours as well.
