Plastic shopping bags cut into strips may work even better. The plastic is much thinner than duct tape and there is absolutely no sticking of the caulk to the bag. I used silastic, which seemed to work well.

Terry,
A suggestion. Instead of the foam tape seal, try this. Use silicone caulk
to form a seal for the mating surfaces. Put packing tape or duct tape on
one surface, then put the caulk on the other surface. Assemble the parts
and wait 24-48 hours for the caulk to set. Then remove the canard cover,
and remove the tape. You'll have a tight fitting (if not totally sealed)
mating surface.
Ronnie
