Hi all,

We're about ready to start covering the Double Eagle wing and were thinking about the materials and steps to completion. We'll need to put some anti-chafe tape on the ribs and other things before wrapping them.

The ribs are 1/4" stock. When we put the tape on the ribs, should the tape be at or slightly over 1/4", or would a standard larger tape be used and then wrapped around? I'm figuring that a fabric surgical tape you could get from the drug store is a good and readily available option.

What say you?

~Chris
