Hatch Tape

Hey Ben

i just got back from walmart and picked up the GE clear tape for 1.99.
Its not on there website.

I also do the double seal thing, use neoprene weather stripping of a bead of silicone, using the silicone I grease up the sealing surface of the hatch then tape it down, let the silicone harden and the hatch lifts right off. Then when I tape it down I get the double seal going.
On my nitro boats I still use blind nuts and screws to hold down a lexan lid on the radio box.
Do it up before leaving home and don't worry for the rest of the day, the clear lexan lets you see any condensation if you get wet. Still put a couple small chunks of kitchen sponge in just in case.
Also do the conformal spray in RX and servos. Never tried the plasti-dip, I like to be able to take things apart if something breaks and you flood.
I've only lost one servo due to water, in a sailboat that developed a crack along the keel trunk. Also the most expensive servo I've ever owned! Damn sail winch!

3M yellow waterproof tape 20mm wide

I've had the best results so far with this tape I bought on ebay.





Anybody knows what type of tape is this?
The seller that sold it to me is not registered anymore and this seller has the 12mm wide only

Colored duct tape works the best for sealing, but it can leave residue.

That's what I use but I spray my hulls with this before and after every trip to the water. Even red and black duct tape comes off easily without a chance of damaging the finish.

i also use clear electrical tape works great
