I think you've bought the wrong tape - Durapore. It looks like shiny cloth,
rather than plastic...And I know I'm not crazy - at least about this ;-) -
as I know another LUGer who also uses this and swears by it. It is not, btw,
a perfect solution, but it is really close to it....

B.D.,

Bought it, put it on the frame window but still flare like before! I live in
Canada. The tape I bought is a 3M Plastic first aid tape called "Transpore".
It's the only one available from the largest drug store here. Have I bought
the wrong stuff or done something wrong?
