+1, but you sure don't need to be in a hurry wrapping it. Brooks really intends you to get it even, eh? I think it takes me 45 minutes to get it right with Brooks tape, and I rest after each side, let my brain drain a bit, and then I very carefully wrap that finish tape. One trick I found is to use one round of Velox tubular tape under the finish tape, and no frays.
