I think I see small bits of amber shellac at the ends of the tape (near the
twine and on the right bar end shifter). It's possible with amber shellac
the tape was originally a much lighter color. Tan or gray maybe???
If you have some left over bar take, maybe try a bit of clear or amber
shellac
It's Sunday and RBW is closed so maybe the group can help me out here.
Does the brown handlebar tape in these Albastache pictures look shellac'd
to you: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/hb3a.htm
I just rewrapped my albastache bars with brown tape but it looks lighter
than in the website
i also sort of doubt that that was brown tape. Gray or orange with several
Amber coats is my guess. Anyway, to second the motion, adding clear over amber,
or vice versa, gives a lot of tonal range
