Dominator, on the double sided tape you posted, what width do you use? Do you lay down a strip that wraps around the LE top and bottom, or just put it on the top side (or bottom side) of the LE Thanks

I personally use 1 1/2 inch wrapped around the LE. I apply the night/weekend beforehand. 1 inch would not stay wrapped around the LE for that period of time with the backing on.

got it, thanks

i have the same problem getting the blue masking tape to stick, and it's why i gave up trying two-sided tape. i probably tried too narrow with the 2-sided tape i used. i think i bought 2" and slit it in half.....
