TENSOR 4D HINGE TAPE HELP
JUST GOT THE TENSOR AIRFRAME BUILT AND THE AILERON HINGE TAPE IS PEELING OFF AND WONT STAY ON. IT WAS FACTORY APPLIED AND PAINTED SO I CANT JUST PEEL AND RETAPE. THE PLANE IS BEAUTIFUL AND WAS EASY TO BUILD BUT I NEED HELP, I DONT WANT TO LOOSE THE GRAPHICS BY RETAPING. I COULD GO OVER WITH WIDER TAPE BUT THAT WOULD JUST ADD WEIGHT.
ANYBODY GOT IDEAS..IM READY TO GEAR IT UP AND FLY

Try using a sealing iron for MonoKote type plastic covering or a clothes iron if that's what you have.
The heat sometimes makes the tape stick again.
Practice on scrap foam and tape to get the heat right.
