Ginz Yes, something like that. It was my first time so I am by no means an expert.
I bought the cheapest padded tape at REI. It was Profile brand. With one roll I was able to do like a 7 inch layer on each 'grip'. With the other roll I did another layer of padded tape. Then I took a single roll of Toshi cloth. It has a removable backing to the adhesive, so you can unroll it completely and cut it exactly in half. That was plenty to cover the full length with a decent overlap. I pulled it as tight as I could. I twined both ends for looks and went to town with the clear Zinsser. Both the Profile tape and the Toshi cloth made it easy to cut without having to deal with exposed adhesive. Profile has none, and Toshi has backing. Newbaum's also has backing, so that will work too. Tressostar and CatEye do not have backing, which will make it tougher.
