RE: Tank Badges
Does it have any thickness like a foam layer between the adhesive sides? I am making my own badge and I didn’t want to cut them to the curvature of the tank. Hopefully I can bend them to close to the correct shape but I may need a little help from the tape.

RE: Tank Badges
Not much thickness, maybe 1/8 inch, better to bend the badges slightly - you really don't want thick tape or the wind could catch the badge edge, best to get tape mounted just inside outside edge of badge so it hugs the tank.

Agreed - I have 'replica' tank badges I bought from HD. The tape the kit comes with is pretty thin - it didn't have any built-in bend to it, but adhered to the bend of the tank just fine. And strong as hell too...barely touched the tank and it was on FOR GOOD.

RE: Tank Badges
sweet badges. Care to tell how you went about getting them produced?
What material?
What sort of vendor / craftsman?
Cost?
Thanks.
