POLYESTER FINISHING TAPES (Lt/Med) Bias tapes (weave pattern 45 degrees to the edge) are suggested for installation over compound surfaces such as around wing tips and tail surfaces. Bias tapes will stretch to conform to the required contour without heat shrinking edges or cutting and notching to remove excess fabric. Stretching reduces the width about 35%, therefore 3" will pull to approximately 2" width around a sharp contour, and 2" will pull to approximately 13S" width.
