I don't know, the hinge tape doesn't seem to stick very well at all(it's not dubro), I tried plain old packing tape, and that seems to be working great. ...
You might want to slightly heat up the tape with a covering iron. This will help it to bond a bit better. It might seem fine now, but after a few flights it may loosen up. Heating the tape seems to help a lot. As one of the other guys stated, Dubro hinge tape or Benderm medical tape work very well too, and they don't need to be heated.
