There are several sides to this issue. The downside of canopy covers is
that they will eventually get dirt in th
All this chatter on tape makes me want to chime in with silicone self sealing
tape. No residue, no paint removal. I use it mostly for vacuum bagging - but
I imagine it could make a good parked canopy seal.

You must have bought a different kind of gaffer's tape than I did. I
bought some from McMaster
I have worked in construction and painting planes and houses. My advice
is never to use electrical tape or duct tape, because both leave a
colored residue if they get heated up by the sun. The blue painter's
masking tape works well, but you can get by with good quality 3M regular
masking tape.
Consider gaffer's tape. It's a high quality tape made to stick well, but
remove without a trace. Looks like duct tape, but much higher quality with
different stickum. Designed for video productions to cover wires on walls
and carpet. It ain't cheap, like $30 to $50/roll, but comes in a variety
I had an upholstery shop make a custom cover that covers the canopy area
and has straps to buckle it around the fuse. It has a soft lining. Its
worth the money to protect your time effort and expense.

Don't use clear packing tape. It pulls paint and leav
Bad thing about a tarp is it will scratch paint and canopy unless it is lined
with a soft cloth or is made from a very soft cloth.

I always kept a roll of 3M white electrical tape in the plane to seal gaps to
keep water out. Don’t buy the cheap tape. Buy the 3M 35+ type.

Mike,

How about a tarp. I've seen some lightweight ones you can get pretty cheap.

Hey guys, What are you using to keep water out of your KR when you have to park
it outside ? I'm thinking some kind of tape that will not pull off the paint or
leave glue residue. Electrical tape ?
