Steve - I know you don't use shellac but I don't find it to feel like plastic, especially over the cork.
Fragile: the Newbaum's is the only cloth tape I have experience with, so that's why I specified that I think it is fragile. It tears or sort of separates easily. I will demonstrate in person if this wild storm permits riding any time in the near future. (It has rained at my house in Arlington for the past 16 hours, at least. Wind has been pretty fierce since mid-day or a little earlier.)

Funny, I'd say mine's tougher than any other cloth tape I've ever used
(and that's what I used to use in the 70s and 80s). What leads to

Not only do you get color change, with enough coats you get a buildup
that looks like s plastic coating and feels like Benotto Xcello plastic
tape rather than cloth. Some like the feeling, others do not. I
personally do not like the feeling at all. I don't know how many coats
it takes to get to the "dipped in plastic resin" look.
