K2 L33 (BFO) - aesthetics & adhesives

[EricJ-2]

I'd find out what that stuff is Elecraft uses to mask holes in the
enclosure. That stuff could be used to prefab houses.

You can get quality 3M electrical tape at Home Depot/ Lowe's in various
colors to have something that does not look like "electrical tape".  White
is available, orange, and many other colors.

You can use a wide tape, such as the clear vinyl tapes sold at home centers.
While Scotch type tapes will work, their adhesive might have problems over
time, as they are designed for paper, not metal.

That's heat resistant tape put one during the powder coating. It's really
tough stuff.

That's what I did.  Polyimide (Kapton) tape looks very nice there.
It looks like surplussales sells the stuff.

On second thought, I'll put the tape on the chassis itself!  :-P
