REFLECTOR:Leading Edge Tape

[John Dibble]

I recently replaced the stainless steel tape on the leading edges of my 
IVO prop.  The old tape was 0.003" thick (does not include thickness of 
the glue).  The new tape is only 0.0015" thick and does not hold up 
well.  The manufacturer of the old tape went out of business.  Anyone 
know where I can get thicker stainless steel tape or something else that 
works well on a propeller leading edge?
As a second point, IVO uses the same tape across the joints of the 
blades and claims that the thinner tape is better for this use because 
the thicker tape is too strong and does not give as good an indication 
of blade movement.
