<< I've got some 3M book tape I'm using for hinging flaps & ailerons; 3M #845 I think. 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.
