Narrative:
Air carrier flight XXX, aircraft xyz. The end cap of left horizontal stabilizer had speed tape peeling off it. (The tape is used as an interim repair for delaminating fiberglas and gelcoat). Per maintenance control, the cap replacement was on a deferred item repair. I removed all old tape, cleaned area, and reapplied new tape. I made a logbook entry of my repair, marking reference to the log page of the item. I was later notified by maintenance control that they ahd given me an incorrect log page number for my signoff. The cap was replaced later that evening.
