I can attest that Tuck Tape, used for taping vapour barrier seams, works
really well, perhaps too well, as it leaves some of the red colour behind.
I taped over my engine panel opening, and it was still held tightly after a
few months of winter rains, with no leaks. The red colour appears to come
off easily from my painted cockpit, but porous gelcoat might be a different
story, so a clear tape, like HD packing tape would be safer.
