Problem was the groove for water flow was filled with water so the tape would fail and not stick after getting soaked there. Don’t se the need for this as water still sits right outside the channel. The wick idea at the I got from this group is working great along the lo point of toe rail to remove that sitting water.

The sun's UVs will breaking down after several months, but it is my go-to tape for temporary hole covers as it leaves very little residue.

Duct tape keeps the water out, but I need to take it up and replace it every couple days. I've got the first 2 coats of 3 down and want to try to avoid using chemicals on it before the paint gets a long cure. It's just a one-part polyurethane -- TotalBoat Wet Edge from Jamestown Distributors.

I have lots of holes covered with it right now also. It is very sticky, and only a small piece is needed for each hole, or use it to hold plastic over larger sections (like my engine control panel that is removed). I'd written: I'm in the middle of painting my decks/cabin/cockpit and have all the deck hardware removed (including cleats -- my dock lines are currently ties to the toe rail) so there are a lot of holes to keep covered. _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
