Question regarding taping the leading edge of the wings

[coupe1942]

Okay, so I have read all the threads here and elsewhere on the subject of taping the leading edge of the wings and all, but I have a question that I have not seen addressed on the matter, so far.  When taping the front wing, do most folk run a single strip of tape across the full expanse of the wing or do you cover the area with two or more strips? I know of the technique for covering the tips and understand that, but just wondering if it is preferred to run just one strip across the front and meet somewhere in the middle or not? It may seem a bit odd to ask such, but my experience with tape and foam so far has been somewhat troublesome, as, once stuck on, it was always difficult to remove without any tearing of the foam.  I want to keep the tape strip really straight when applying, but I have had a couple of shoulder surgeries in the past and my hand starts to shake a bit when I start trying hard to do some intricate work at all. I want to lay down the tape as best I can, but try to keep it straight, so I was just wondering about joining it in two or more sections or running just one single strip.

Thanks...

The SC is a big lump of foam which can accept all manner of abuse.

It won't care in the slightest if you cover the leading edge in one strip, two strips or two hundred strips. Just go for it!

I'm presuming that you're from stateside ( can't seem to remember seeing a post as to where you are, sorry.) Please don't use standard packing tape, it looks awful. Yes it does help a bit, but....it's UGLY! Use this instead....

Can't find any on ebay.com, but your LHS may have it in stock. Looks a lot nicer, and will practically bulletproof your wings. Only needs one strip as well!
