Serious question-- can you do the harlequin wrap with anything besides cloth tape? It seems like anything else would be too thick to wrap two layers of tape.

Pretty much no one liked the assymmetrical tape... it was either ambivilence or hatred.

I won't do white Lizardskins DSP tape again. The logo print is die cut (or maybe molded) into the tape and once it gets nice and dirty no amount of rubbing alcohol will get it truly white again.

I have some snow camo tape like was mentioned earlier, too. It's a microfiber 'suede' finish though, and I really like the grip from the polymer tape. Color-wise, I'd rock it in a heartbeat.
