A variation is to use the tape to get a bevel and an edge going and then remove the tape and refine the bevel to the correct 15 degrees before finishing.

Something to think about when giving advice.

Hi Don. I am not swayed from my advice even after hearing of these potential problems. 1. the angle will be different. 2. No one will know.

There are many members who use tape. There are quite a few who use both hands. These suggestions are hardly fancy tricks Bart
