Can you recommend me a high temperature tape?
Hi folks!
I was searching Amazon and then I realized I should ask the experts here:-).
My new van, which is very much a work-in-progress, still has exposed metal around the interior edges where the original roof was cut away and the raised roof put on.
I'd like to cover up those edges, partly for protection (although I have run a grinder over them) and partly so that dust doesn't accumulate between the layers of the metal. The interior is white and it would be nice if the tape was white or clear. I will later cover this with fabric.
I don't want to use duct tape because I think the adhesive would break down in the high heat when the van is in storage in the summer. I would also avoid fiberglass tape, because I'm quite allergic to fiberglass and I'm afraid it might break down over time.
It would be extra great if the tape were breathable, because I will be taping two layers of metal with one piece of tape, and it would be nice to avoid condensation in the gap. One can't have everything, though.
I was looking at the 3M Extreme Sealing Tape, which has good data for temperature, but is expensive and I haven't used it before. And then I thought I should ask you all first! Can you think of a tape that would be ideal for this job?
