Final Flap Tapes

The leading edge tape is the final tape to be applied on the flaps.  The tapes needed to be 5" in width.  Since this is an uncommon width we used pinking shears to cut two tapes from left-over scrap fabric.  Three coats of adhesive were added to the leading edge and finally the two edges of the tapes were glued down and the fabric tapes were shrunk with heat for a nice tight fit. Next we will apply additional glue on the leading edge to affix the fabric tape.  Hours: 4
