TerryDubYa Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Group, I started repairing the plastic panels in my J and, upon removal of the rear seat plastic pan, discovered a mess of duct tape covering the top of the spar and the access panels aft of the spar. Is this something the factory did, or just a bandaid that a previous owner or A&P had used? Terry Edwards, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yetti Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 alum. HVAC tape http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Adhesives/Tapes/Products/~/3M-Aluminum-Foil-Tape-425?N=5472880+3291638463+3293241744&rt=rud The regular duct tape can degrade and hold water and such. Acetone to clean up the sticky mess or goo gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryDubYa Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks, guys. I'll try the suggested acetone and alu tape before reinstalling the seat pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
