There's an outfit that markets a perforated tape for
propeller leading edges. The perfs act like dimples. They claim
performance improvements with their stuff, of course. See

People with light aircraft often notice a black plastic tape applied
to the prop's leading edges as minor erosion protection.
As far as I can recall, it's not an STC item.
