Walter,

I have a Diamond Katana and had to replace the original gap tape at 250
hours.   I now have 150 hours on the new tape.   Of course the plane only
flies at 130Kts true airspeed.

Are you sure that the wing was clean before you applied the tape?   Did the
tape "blister on the end or somewhere in the middle?  Also, you want to make
sure no oil or wax remains before applying.

Hope this helps,

Bill (deciding on ES or 2000) Moffitt
