[C320-list] Accent Tape - Suggestions

[resloat]

Karl-Upside down working is difficult and a chance to go overboard on the 
tarmac.  I would work from the ground and wait until the yard clears to give 
you room to do all the accent tape.

If you use a heat gun to take off the existing tape be careful that the 
marking tape you put up doesn't also get loose.  I did a stripe like this 
from scratch on a previous boat and measured the from the rub rail down 
every few feet to the distance where the top of the new tape would go.  It 
looked very good when done.  I would make measurements along the length of 
you boat on how far down from the rub rail the existing accent strip is just 
in case the existing marking tape has to come off.

I did our lettering from the deck and wouldn't advise it if you can
get a couple of stepladders or a rolling scaffold.
