I ask because that second tape also wears, so when you are ready to finish using a hone, especially a bevel setter, you would be served best by using fresh tape for just the final 10-15 light strokes. That will ensure that you have a clean edge.
About half or two thirds way through the process. I was noticing wear on the spine and replaced. Good point to put on clean tape at the end, when doing light strokes. Since I need to work the toe more, I'll have a new set of tape (I take it all off at the end of a honing session).

Will work on this more tomorrow and post results.

Thanks for all the comments and tips folks!
