Cotton bar tape question

[Supratada]

Yes, soak an old broken 78 rpm record in denatured alcohol and you have free shellac. Probably be to dark, ha.

Quick check round the house
Denatured alcohol- nope
78 record- nope

I’ve got some CDs and white wine vinegar?

Hi all. I'm about to apply some cotton Newbaum's bar tape to my Ellis Briggs and wonder on what people are doing. I've read that some people double wrap for extra cushioning or install gel inserts under the cotton for even more hand comfort. Others are shellacking their tape when installed and I've seen some very nice looking twine and cork finishes at the bar ends as well.

BITD I just wrapped with cotton tape and stuck in some plastic bar plugs.

Canada that's a long way for an Ellis Briggs to travel!!
