Thread: WOW 4 layers of tape!!!

Well I have finally got an edge on one of my blades after having to use 4 layers of tape to achieve a decent bevel. When I first used one layer I saw after a while that in one long spot the bevel was getting wider up the towards the spine of the blade almost 1/4" and nothing at the toe and heel. Upon further inspection I saw the spine was severely flat in that spot. I talked with a fellow SRP mentor and he suggested putting 4 layers of tape and trying that. Well that sure worked and after and afternoon and evening using rolling X's because the heel and toe were not following along very well, I have hairs popping like corn in a movie theater. So, after giving the blade a ride on the 12k Chinese stone I am wondering if when it comes time to strop, will I need to still use tape? Won't the angle that is now present be shallower if I strop without tape? Or... will I get a micro bevel because of the shallower angle.
Thanks,
