[C320-list] stripe replacement?

[David J Gleason]

Martin:

Two years ago I replaced the stripes on our 1994 hull on one side.  I
purchased the tape from Catalina.  Before I removed the old tape that had
split and rubbed through from fenders, I ran a soft pencil along the top
edge to give me a reference mark on which to install the new stripes.  I
did use a heat gun and a soft puddy knife with the corners rounded off to
avoid scratching the hull.
