Tony,

I tried it on some rentals and it did not hold up for very long...........rentals get put through some serious wear and tear though.

Damn. I must be an east county redneck. DUCT TAPE. 3 dollars a roll.

That stuff was orginally made for boats so I'm sure it will hold up, I'll wait to see what it does for you before I use it on my Outback.

Sticky!!! that's disgusting.

I'd think that it's obvious that's not me from that skinny roadbike 700c tube.

Back on topic you can actually take larger bike tube like for a 26x2.125 cut a piece a foot long, cut one side open and trim it into the same type shape used above.

You then glue it to your keel using spray contact trim adhesive. I've a friend that does that and it works. (I'm thinking he's not seen the post yet)

Inner tube rubber may not last as long but old tubes are free if you cycle a lot (I do) it lasts longer then duct tape, and it's softer then plastic so it won't scratch up your car paint.

You can request a free sample on their site. They sent me a 10" strip and I have been using it on the back keel. So far so good.

Ha! That's me too. I cut a piece of plastic to fit the back of the keel (the length of my scratches) and duct tape that baby on. Kind of like a skid plate...? It's been in place for a while, my only offering is to use quality duct tape...

Well guys I went out to irvine lake with my newly installed keel eazy strip and it performed great and stayed on just fine. Looked perfect at the end of the day. This afternoon I took the ol' PA off the truck, and wheeled it to the back of the shop. I wanted to see what would happen if I dragged it across some asphalt a little.... so I gave it a test, lifted the back end up and dragged it back...probably 3"......to my surprise.....it burned right thru the strip!!!! Wow! I guess this stuff isn't as tough as I thought it was....I have some left over strips that I will reapply, and this time I won't drag it....
