1" tape, covering a hull/deck seam on a surf ski. Epoxy resin. Somebody suggested using wider tape, but the original stuff was 1" so I stayed with that size. Looks like it's going to go on ok except up at the duckbill/hammerhead bow where there's a curve that it has to follow from center to edge. Think trying to tape Donald Duck's bill closed by running a 1" strip from his left jaw around the front and over to his right jaw - following the seam of the upper and lower bills, but wrapping around top and bottom. Maybe it will go on ok, maybe not..... But just in case... Are there any ticks to get glass to adhere to a close radius outside curve? With epoxy, you can use clear packing tape over the saturated tape to hold it in place. I do this all the time when repairing kayays. |
