i think this way may give more prolems than you are trying to solve.
Thanks for those observations Gray but there is no fouling around cover edge as this was one point I was very careful about. Good point about the tape being water proof - I will se how it works out. An airgap is to be a feature of the MK2 when I get around to sorting out the thermal forming of attachment clips. Thanks again.
