I'm following this thread with interest. I've had
problems with mylar not sticking to the double sided
tape. The tape sticks quite well to the gel coat,
but the mylar doesn't want to stay stuck to the double
sided tape.

I've been accused of having an engine on my glider
as I pass over the airfield. But it's just that damned
loose mylar buzzing.

Of course, the hardest part of dealing with mylar is
getting the old stuff completely removed. The next
hardest is figuring out how to insure the mylar stays
stuck to the double sided tape.

Any ideas?

I did it myself and it was quite easy. I assume that
these are
external seal tape, not internal seals.

The previous post mentioned sanding with 220. I didn't
and wouldn't.
In my book
gelcoat and sandpaper should stay far, far, apart.
The seals have
stuck for
3 years now with zero problems.

Having a friend help get things on straight is useful.
