Caltow Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 What's everybody using for anti-chafe tape? I've used some different ones with varrying results. I'm looking for something for an a-star tailboom. I've used the brown teflon tape, but whenever oil touches it it becomes unstuck and just peels off, I've used some clear tapes but they just seem to change color and look like crap after a couple months. I want something that actually lasts! Any info is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazy Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 PRC Let it dry first, before putting on the cowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drkrider Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 thin layer of proseal dusted with baby powder or a thin layer of vasoline works well on the the proseal if it hasn't had a few days to cure yet. Oh and a little paint roller to apply it. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePer Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ditto on the proseal. Looks great if rolled on as said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullcap Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think you have to mix some mek with proseal to make easier to roll on don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidkicker Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Don't use proseal, the cowlng will chafe on the proseal and wear the rolled portion at the mating surface causing premature wear of the cowling. Once the cowling is worn, a sharp edge will slice through the proseal and scrap out the tail boom. Unfortunally I can't answer the original post but I highly recommend using an antichafe tape.

If the clearance was such that there was any ability for the cowl to "scrap out the tail boom" I think you have bigger problems that no chafe tape/PRC can fix. What A/C and or cowling type are you referring to . When the PRC is used as chafe protection properly you will be able to see any wear and re-apply before any damage occurs.
