Blade tape question

We recently switched back to stainless leading edge tape on one of our ships and have found that the tape is starting to lift after less than 10 hours. Talked to the distributor and he tells me that they've been having problems with adhesion on this tape so he recommends the mylar tape. Would have been nice to tell us before we bought it.

Problem is the owner wants the stainless tape. Anybody know if you can use the 3M 86A adhesion promoter on stainless tape as you can with the mylar? Any suggestions on how to increase the adhesion or a lead for a supplier of quality stainless tape?
