    That's encouraged not just so you can find the answer that you're looking for, but along the way you, like 100s or 1000s of us might see something you didn't even know to ask about. It's a great learning tool in this site, because it's customized to show previous related conversations.

    Yes, Bob! Harold speaks the truth. It can also be a 'controversial' subject!

    one thing to remember is if you do tape the spine pay attention to the thickness of the tape. some tape is .007 of an inch and some more. I use one that is 8 1/2 thousand of an inch. a friend uses one that is .010 of an in. it will make a difference.

    I don't know what the thickness is, but I always use the same brand, Scotch Super 33. So I don't sweat the thickness variable. Thanks for pointing that out though.

    That would be .007 thickness. the 88 is the 8 1/2 thickness. either is good as long as you stay with the same one.
