  • Cowl anti-chafe tape?

    I was wondering what folks have had success with as far engine cowl anti-chafe tape? I think I saw Mr Collin used a fiberglass tape on the doors themselves on one of the Bearhawk 5 videos. I was surprised that the tape was applied to the doors that have a lot of flexibility. Be interested in hearing the advantages of that method or any others.
    Thanks too much,

    I am using this on the H stab leading edge and under the cowl doors.

      We are just using teflon tape on the cowl itself, and a fabric tape which we glued onto the boot cowl. The teflon stuff is invincible and sticks very well, also a bit pricey. See ACS for details "teflon tape".
