Default Hinge gap tape

I'm looking for suggestions for taping the hinge side gap of a Grob. I
typically un-tape for the annual inspection of condition, clean, then
re-tape. There is very little movement at the hinge. In the past, I
used Tesa brand Tissu tape that Wings and Wheels sells (about 2/3 of
the way down this page) http://www.wingsandwheels.com/page28.htm
I have used Blenderm tape as well, but haven't found any solvent that
will remove the adhesive residue from the Blenderm. I'm still trying
to get it off one of the club ships!
Any suggestions for a different tape, or a solvent that will remove
the Blenderm adhesive residue? I've tried the usual: 3M General
Adhesive cleaner, Goo Gone, Goof Off, Xylene, Naptha.
