Boler,eco ensolite seams

So I read about the caulk and paint the ensolite seam gaps so I tried it in my 73 eco, absolutely hated the results then read about double sided tape and baby powder the one side and wasn't keen on that either so I combined a few ideas.i bought 1 inch 3m vhb double sided tape 2 rolls and some white vinyland started making seam covers. I used white vinyl but they didn't match inside which wasn't really concerning because I still need to final paint but here's a few pics and if you try this cut slow the straight edge really makes it easier and just make the strips a few at a time and cut off what you don't use and chances are you'll use the rest on another seam I had very little waste doing it this way

I like it, looks good so far. What didn’t you like about the caulk idea? Just curious for when I start redo my interior.

It's really challenging to get the texture of caulk to resemble the original texture I tried for days and didn't get it to my liking

I read a report somewhere about Perma Stik, a vinyl anti skid tape for bathtubs I think.
User was happy with it. I plan to check it out.
20 years ago I applied double sided white foam tape with baby powder but it's done now.

I used the acrylic/latex caulking and first dapped it with a cloth. I let it set for an hour or so and then flattened the peaks with the butt of my hand. I painted it after it set more completely. It's close.

I was able to buy 50 feet of foam tape in September
I haven’t tried to apply yet, but I am assuming the pressure sensitive adhesive will hold.
