REFLECTOR: Propguard

[Chuck Jensen]

MT is pretty proud of it, but they have a black tape with an excellent adhesive on it for the leading edge (about the first 12" from the blake root).  In peeling off the backing, I see it was 3M tape (no surprise there), but there was no product number.  You can probably google 3M tapes.  It shouldn't be hard to find--they only have 3 gawdzillion different tapes.  :-)

Flew a long trip yesterday and the paint abraded off the leading edge of 
my compost prop due to some heavy rain I flew through. Interested in 
trying propguard tape. Aircraft Spruce shows it as approved for metal 
props and in reading the installation instructions they mention using an 
accelerator on the painted prop (not to be used on unpainted prop) prior 
to installing tape to improve adhesion. Will this accelerator damage 
composites or does it just improve adhesion to the paint?? thx Tom
