Re: [RCSE] Hinge tape
My workbench top is plate glass. Clean off a strip and face-down the tape. Strip as you desire. Leave the rest there for the next time..

The tape seems perfect except the part where it's 2 wide, and I need some about 3/4 wide for inside the joint; the other 1-1/4 can be used on the flat side. The tape on the inside of the hinge may be overkill. Unless there is extreme pressure, such as dynamic soaring you will probable not need the 2nd strip of tape. If you must strip, use a Master Airscrew balsa stripper. Adjust the stripper to it's widest setting and lay the side you usually place against the balsa against the tape. Now turn the tape and cut into the pate as far as you need to get the amount of tape needed for the job. If you are using the tape just for hinges, the larger side should be about right for most hinging duties. Hope this helps. Rich RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Hinge tape application.
Thanks to you all! Talk about instant gratification. With this info, I should be able to get started. Thanks. From: "Harley Michaelis" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Sam Cardinal" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Hinge tape application. Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 10:38:23 -0700 Hi Sam. . . be sure all surfaces are free of lint and dust. Apply bits of masking tape to space the surface from the wing as you want it. Cut a strip of the tape a couple of inches longer than needed and fold the ends over to grab. It helps to have someone work with you to hold one end while you hold the other. Stick the tape at one end of the surface and align the strip along the hingeline, but keep the strip from contacting the surface. Slowly and progressively press the strip in contact, working out bubbles as you go along. Remove the masking tape bits as you go. Make pinholes where a bubble is trapped. With sharp blade, cut excess off at the ends. Note that tape tends to lift away as a surface moves. A fix is to first apply some Z hinges at ends and center of the surfaces, trim the ends and then apply the tape over them. This prevents the surface from moving up and down and lifting away the tape. I like making my Z hinges from the tape material. If you need info on that ask and I will try to locate a file I made up that explains how to make them and keep them free of fingerprints as they are applied.

Barring that, how about a simple (ie : talk to me like I'm three) written explanation? TIA, Sam.
