Hi George;

The strapping tape Al was referring to is the filament variety, I believe, and I had the same problems as he had using brand new 3M strapping tape. After a day or so, removing it was an arduous task at best. It left filaments and adhesive that took forever to remove.

The clear packing tape works fine, as does quality duck tape. When you use the clear suff, you can also see what it will look like with varnish! :)

Best Regards, Spidey
