White PVC tape has always done it for me (& most glider pilots) and I
guess it boils down to having a clean surface not covered with non stick
polish.

last summer. This was very disappointing as there were no measurable speed gain,
it looked ugly and the tape started to get disbonded and flapped in the breeze
after a few weeks. I believe the problem comes from the gaps which move back
and forth with the flexing of the wings. It seems to me that the Bowlus tape
is too thick to handle the stress caused by this flexing. May be a thinner
and therefore more flexible tape would do it better?
