What happened Deep hate, is the second beer got you! Tapes have what is called skiving on the wraps. The skiving is a drop down ledge on one side of the tape for wrapping. If you start again and find the side that is skived and wrap so that is under the next layer you will get the same result as the first. As for the direction of wrapping I think about how my fingers will fit into any groves the wrap might create. Normally if you start from the inside of the bar and wrap over to the outside you will have the proper wrap for each hand. It is something I learned in the golf industry, they have grips for left handed players and grips for right handed players. the difference is in the direction of the wrap. Hope this helps, and you can likely re-use the tape by changing direction and skiving pattern. Smiles, MH
