    You may be right, Trevor...
    I'll keep nagging for another couple of weeks, then see if I get a chance to start on it after Christmas. Too much work to get sorted before then.

    To my surprise, I thought the grain looked better before filling... I do like it on the comfort carve, but there's a few spots where it's just not that strong. The finish isn't my call, though...

    So that's all even better! Great to have the option of the 'cyclone' tape, I guess it'll just be down to cost and residue. But nice to have real options. I can't imagine using the foam stuff!
