"Consumer Reports' engineers have just completed testing the iPhone 4,
and have confirmed that there is a problem with its reception. When
your finger or hand touches a spot on the phone's lower left side=97an
easy thing, especially for lefties=97the signal can significantly
degrade enough to cause you to lose your connection altogether if
you're in an area with a weak signal. Due to this problem, we can't
recommend the iPhone 4."

"We did, however, find an affordable solution for suffering iPhone 4
users: Cover the antenna gap with a piece of duct tape or another
thick, non-conductive material. It may not be pretty, but it works."

A few thin layers of shellac or lacquer might do it and look reasonable. =

Maybe a clear acrylic.

My favorite is clear mylar packaging tape, applied and trimmed once in
place. For extra credit, glue cured using a heat gun.
