I have a roll of 3M extreme sealing tape , (4412G) ,
its acrylic based , 80 mils thick , holds its shape well unless you stretch it ,
matt grey on the outside ,adheres well to almost anything including itself
I think its available in normal hardware stores in smaller quantities .
May be worth a try for dealing with body resonances . Not sure of its stability with temperature maybe theres a data sheet about it with more info .
Its kind of obvious to me the original U47 tubular body shape isnt the best in terms of resonances , the tapered style found on the U67 and more modern Neumann mics are likely a lot better , then again you find people who are hell bent on trying to recreate the flaws in the original design . On a few sessions where we used rented U47's they were sometimes problematic , on ocassion the vocalist would hit a certain note and trigger a resonance which caused the sound to brown out momentairily , the producer had to call time on it .
