One or two days later but...
This allows me to use the flats, hoods and rest my arms across the bars/HB bag like aeros. I'm not entirely satisfied with the wrap job (but do like the shellac) as I added the mirror and cork afterward and the bar tape doesn't cover them neatly. I'll eventually re wrap them better. With cut off drops one package of bar tape allows me to double wrap the bars.
