I saw a roll of the camo tape in a H&F store that only sticks to itself and was considering applying it to parts of my rifle (Suppressor and Scope) for protection. Just want to help prevent scratches etc.
Does anyone know if rust or corrosion builds up under the tape if it gets wet? Lemme know what youve done or suggest. Thanks guys
I wrapped my scope and suppressor in it and had no problems but always dried my rifle off well before putting in the safe
Do you dry the scope and suppressor somehow? Or just run a towel over the tape?Quote:

The materials scope and suppressors are made of it's not much of an issue?
Give everything a good blow out with an air compressor
Righto cheers guys! Any pics of what your setup looks like?

I have a barrel and a pistol frame done.
The slide guide on the pistol doesnt even look like wearing after heaps of rounds.
Stu Geal at Greystone guns does it. Highly recommend Stu and cerikote as a durable coating. Pricey but.

Do ya put it on scope before mounting or After?
Does it leave marks when removed? And also does it stick well?Quote:

Sounds good, might give it a crack. Would you suggest putting it on before mounting the scope?
Mount your scope and set your rifle up before you put the tape on. Cut lengths of tape to cover the bits you want wrapped. Works best when you have a good overlap of tape.Quote:

I'm guessing you don't cover the barrel? Seen someone with that and figured it would wreck havoc with the harmonics!
Probably. My scopes are detachable so I never gave that a thought. 😆

Cheap as all get out from Ali Express, about $2 a roll from memory and free postage
I doubt it would effect the harmonics, but you do have have to watch your barrel doesn't rust or pit under the tape from wetness, I've seen some light pitting on a stainless tikka that had camp tape on it.Quote:
