Proofhide Brooks bartape? Really?
I read this somewhere. Is this something that should be done?
Sounds like it would be bad for the adhesive strips inside.

Q > What happens if you do Proofide your bar tape (as I did after wrapping it)?
A > It won't harm, but it probably gets sticky

Q > What maintenance if any is required for tape, if not Proofide? Would Armor All leather wipes be okay?
A > No maintenance is required

Q > I live in the Pacific North West (Seattle), how will the saddle and leather bar tape hold up in our wet weather?
A > As for the tape, be sure the tape is wrapped very tightly and properly. Then you may also use Proofide From time to time.
