I missed your earlier note about prismatic tape. What is the one you
have had good experiences with?

I bought adhesive mylar strips from Campmor and stuck two on each face

disrupting the flow over the blades.

I have received unsolicited, positive feedback from other folks. Most
of the comments sound like: "Damn, I coud see your paddle flashing from
way out!"

Of course it is most effective when paddling east or west but it does
seem to work well, and the strips were pretty cheap.

The prismatic tape I mentioned is very similar, but it works over a
wider range of sun angles and it creates a multi-colored reflection
that's quite eye-catching.
