Could anyone who has tried the 1" wide gap tape that "TJ" is selling
please post your opinion of the tape?
Thanks,

I've been using this tape for nearly a year. It seems to be equal in
every way to the 3M white electrical tape that I was using before,
except maybe slightly thinner. It goes on easily and comes off cleanly,
leaves no residue. Don't know how it could be better.

With all due respect, I found the tape to be a pain. You can't leave
it on for more than one flight without a very sticky residue, it does
not bend around tight compound turns, like the leading edge at the
rudder and elevator junction. Very limited stretching and does not
stick as well as 3M. I would not buy it again and I can't give it away
now.

I'm on my second order and think its fine, but you
DO need to remove it after every flight or you got
a gooey sticky mess on your hands.
