A single Sheer stripe tape that was used on many of the earlier Catalinas. Sapphire Blue.
Older boats had a single gel coat stripe molded into the hull at the sheer. This replacement vinyl is wide enough to cover the faded gel coat stripe, providing a fresh look without requiring the labor involved in repainting.
Since the color of the tape on your boat has changed over time due to exposure to ultraviolet light, we highly recommend replacing all of the stripe on one side of the boat. If you replace just a section of the stripe, it will call attention to any gel coat repair. Even an excellent repair will be highlighted by the brighter color of the new shear stripe.
There are 3 layers of material for easy installation. Peel back the first layer to expose the adhesive bottom side of the stripes. Carefully place the tape to the desired area and peel back the last layer exposing the non-adhesive glossy side of the stripes.
When installing new sheer stripe tape, thoroughly clean the surface first. See the Rapid Tac Sheer Stripe Spray offered below under "May we also suggest".
Sapphire Blue: 1-1/8"
Length: 50'
Since every computer's screen has a different color temperature, the color displayed on your screen is unlikely to match the exact color of the tape.
