Timming tape install ideas

I've run Mr.Gasket timing tape twice, and neither time has it come off! The key is to thoroughly degrease the paint on the outside of the damper before you apply the tape; brake cleaner or alcohol on a rag works well; then dry it with another clean, dry rag and apply the tape. You might try covering it with clear packing tape (overlapping the ends) and trimming with a razor blade to fit the damper.
