Interesting tape job, Louie. How'd you do this? Black tape first than a candy cane white tape job on top? Any added benefits from this or is this purely aesthetics? I take some old scrap tape and and make the ribbing, I then put a single layer of black over the ribbing. I leave enough space while putting the ribbing on to fit a single layer of tape to give it the striped effect. Its purely aesthetic, I just like to have something different. Yes, I do. Its the only stuff I will use. I just wish they would send me some free stuff haha.
