Ugh, what terrible grammar in that last email. Sorry people. Typing into a phone with work gloves on isn't really the best.
Last year my tape didn't stick well because; 1: unlike prior years, I tore the old tape off on-playa, wiped off the dust a bit, and then applied tape immediately 2: the tape I had was a couple years old. The stuff just doesn't have the best shelf life. I reinforced w/ some straps of gorrilla tape, and my poor old rickety, 1" thick H15 survived somehow! Today's solution: 1: tear off old tape before hitting the desert. Even if that isn't an option, try this: 2: BRAKE CLEANER to scrub off the old dry tape residue. Tape stuck to it immediately (and the tape I sampled today was again, a couple years old). Acetone didn't seem to work as well, though its much cheaper. MAGICAL!
