It's always bugged me how I sand and fill my wings to perfection and then drag 7-15 torx heads through the water. Any good non permanent solutions? Or am I just being OCD?

I swore I saw someone taping them somewhere.

These guys?
(duck tape prom attire. not hating - I remember how poor I was in high school)

Seriously, though, the thought occurred to me but residue and it potentially peeling off have made me reluctant to try it.

If you watch PWA videos you can see nearly every screw taped over. I use foil tape to cover mine, but the difference is extremely subtle...unless the tape starts peeling off of your stabilizer screws.
