Strip: Never Again...Again

Green Frog tape works well for a lot of things and was working well for taping stuff off without problems with epoxy.....but

Packing tape, saran wrap, duct tape, all things suggested for the coaming form. I covered the foam with grey duct tape and all was going really well but then I noticed the rear half of the form had wrinkles, should have let it be. The green Frog Tape smoothed those wrinkles out like a charm so I started glassing.

After 5 layers of 3.2oz glass I decided to go off menu, again, and decided to go ahead and remove the foam form and this is working great. The flex allowed me to remove fairly easy with no distortion to the shape, then the green tape came off without much effort but left a little surprise, GREEN. The green transferred from the tape to the glass and left me with a two tone coaming.

Pretty funny mistake considering all the others I've made, at least this one will be hidden under the carbon :)
