With 3 more finishing tapes to install before completing fuselage taping I have come to a screeching halt. The problem is that I can't figure out how to apply and shrink the tape that goes from aft turtle deck up to top of vert stab king post to make it lay down so I can poly brush it down. The problem is the two opposite curves. I have had plenty of success shrinking the tapes around a single curve in one direction but now I am stumped. I am trying to use a one piece tape without cutting it so it will look nice. Do I have to use bias tape there?.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
