Andrew...if I had it to do over again, I would attempt to ensure that
the underside (including the "ledge") is fully supported yet free to
expand and contract...I would install all the tapes to the CM which are
called for, but I would provide a cushioned bond-break between the tape
and the tank. In my attached build-photo, the FG tape was regrettably
bonded to the tank.
