RE: Anybody use specialty tape to cover wing attach gap?
I got mine from www.VinylStriping.com in 2.5" width (3" cut down custom) and
that covers my WAF junction cutouts just fine.
Yes it is a Scotch product. $33.50 for 150 feet! If you want some dark blue,

It’s simple. Just use the tried and tested Mark Langford’s plastic idea. lay up
your glass on plastic then apply to gap seal. Then use peal ply. Church is web

It depends on just how wide your gaps are. I was tired of working on
mine and wanted to fly so I went to the hardware store and bought a roll
of alu
Google "Sail Plane Gap Tape" to see what the sail plane guys use. That should work nicely. I've also heard of people using Gaffers tape, which comes in a host of colors and is less expensive ~$20 pee 3"wide 60 yd roll That should be enough to hold you for a few years.

I think I've been using the tape you describe ever since I bought my KR
in 2006. It's made by Scotch I'm pretty sure. I use the same tape,
although I think it's four inch instead of five or six like I use for the
wing gap, to cover the cowling joints.
You've got the right idea but your source

If so, what kind, source - price? Polyurethane 6" x 36 yard roll = $650 !??!

my back. Not too crazy about trying the "green glass" method.
