Default FS: Gap Tape

I will add my approval of this gap tape. *I've been using it for

together and/or fly a lot.

My $0.02.

I bought some too, and it works okay. On REALLY hot days, it seems to
'creep' a bit more than the white electrical tape I get at the
hardware store, but not too bad. I rig on Saturdays and de-rig on
Sundays, and have always cleaned all the taped areas with 3M General
Adhesive Cleaner either when I de-rig (okay I really almost never do
this) or before rigging (religiously). I do this regardless of what
tape I'm using.
My $0.02 (+ John's)
