Flap anti chafe tape.

[Gavin Yates]

Can anyone please advise what tape & width to use on a yet to be installed replacement flap. I'm reading "3M 8674" of 3" width is used but also read it's no longer made.Ta in advance for assistance.

Try sticking a length of the "fuzzy" side of Velcro on the bottom of the top wing skin where it contacts the flap. After 8 years there is not a single scratch on my flaps.

I've not heard of the Velcro approach to this. Does it not scuff a painted surface?

There's does work very well (3M) but it seems been out of stock for a while. Hopefully back in stock soon.
