Thanks for your reply Bill. I am building a bike and had a color on hand that I don't want for the final color, but thought I might put it down instead of going zero tape like Spencer Chan until I get the color i want, at which point I'd potentially overlap. Based on what you say, I'll probably just wait to get the perfect color. Thanks for your response. John On Oct 28, 2013, at 1:40 PM, Bill Lindsay <tapebu...@gmail.com> wrote:
