Is there a better choice for removing wing tape adhesive in particular, and various other adhesives in general? Mineral spirits. Or one of the citrus based products. No need for strong solvents here. T8 |

sounds like lots of things work. I use 'oops' from
homaxproducts.com. that worked like magic for removing the glue residue from adhesive foam around the canopy.

So....what IS better tape?
Bowlus tape leaves residue. The high end 3M electrical tape leaves residue. The cheap Home Depot electrical tape leaves residue. The REALLY EXPENSIVE German cloth tape leaves residue. Inquiring minds want to know. |

Keep the taped parts of the glider nicely waxed and anything removes the residue, including more wax. I use WX Block and touch up the taped areas after removing tape using the #2, which removes the residue easily. I use Goof Off and 3M 08984 on newly purchased ships that weren't cleaned, and also when replacing aileron seals.

It looked nice, but I was quite disappointed with the 2" "Hello Kitty" duct tape.
Guy, it all leaves some residue. The residue from Bowlus comes off if you use the sticky side of the tape you just removed to dab it. Same thing can be done with real gaffers tape, not duct tape. Meow, Jim |

Interesting comment about using WX Block.
I stopped using it in part, because my electrical tape would not stick to the treated surfaces. I tried placing 3 inch tape over the parting surfaces to keep the WX Block off the areas I would tape, but the WX Block seems to creep. |

I use electrical tape also about half the time if it's only going to be on for a day or two, with the WX Block. |
