Well tonight the packing tape got a fail! I had to bread knife a beautiful old Torry Full Double concave. Looked like it had been used a few times and put away wet. The edge was just serrated. I set the new bevel with a King 1K. Admittedly I was using pressure to remove a lot of metal initially but even when I backed off to very light pressure towards the end 40 passes was the limit of the packing tape. I was pulling it frequently and checking it for a grind line. When I move up to the 6K King and then the 8K Norton no problems but I still kept checking it frequently. Maybe if I used a more course stone with very light pressure the packing tape would have acted better. It still works well enough to be of value to me.
But was it more resistance than the 3m black electric tape?
