Time to replace some yaw strings. *Can anyone recommend a good way to
remove old tape residue without doing violence to the canopies?

Thanks,

Mark,

I've used denatured alcohol with a clean microfiber cloth. Saturate a small
section of cloth and gently rub over the old adhesive. Depending on the type
of tape use, this can be an arduous process. You can use your fingernail to
help, though this can sometimes result in scratches.

My MKIII "high tech" yaw string avoids the tape residue problem. After a two
year outdoor exposure test (in California sun), the outer clear plastic
layer of the MKIII base lifts off leaving the clear adhesive behind. Then
the clear adhesive easily and cleanly "rolls off" the canopy with finger
pressure. Besides, the MKIII looks nicer than tape.
