What kind of tape? PTFE, UHMW or other ? They have good strong acrylic adhesive. I also have silicon and rubber adhesive tapes but they
are thicker over all. I use tapes and sheets on things from guns to wood working tools. It can be gotten in thicknesses from .003" and
up. It has the advantage of being super slick too.
I just checked a piece and it appears as though the adhesive is about .002" and the thickness advertised includes the adhesive. My .011" is
running .001" over. The adhesive will come off with lacquer thinner and I have not found that to cause problems with most metals
and plastics. Acetone is more aggressive and will melt some plastics. Lac didn't hurt my Vudoo mags or my B14R finish.
I meant to send you these two photos.... The first is a HW piston and in the slot you can make outside layer of the stainless steel baffle.
The second photo shows the baffle prior to insertion. The inside of the sheet has PTFE attached to it. The small diamonds allow the
sheet to roll and are turned inwards so that the top hat can retain the assembly. The baffle keeps the Krytox grease from migrating into the compression chamber which in turn would cause dieseling.

It has a little side to side play, I added one strip of tape to the front of my mags to help tighten it up a bit. Have not had any issues in the last year running it in matches." and up.
