The Tape debate rages on.. and now i have my own opinion on it..

my two cents. It's fine to take tape off and hone from say 4k onwards without it AS LONG AS you have been setting a Bevel with pressure on a 220 or 1k and you are using ONLY THE WEIGHT OF THE BLADE from 4k on

Mind you, if you've been watching glens videos, do it like he says. He knows way more than i do lol
