Glad to be of service, but the hard part was on you!
Tape, huh? Back in the day we did it and used the high part of the lip as a feel guide for the fingers and the rag.
Suprisingly a binding was rarely ever ruined. When I would train people it seemed like the tape made them over confident and they would bear down on the edge more than they should and the stain would soak under. Plus it added alot of time to the prep. Gotta get those numbers!!
Looks like you had no such problem, and Myka's stuf is amazing so as the saying goes, more than one way to skin a cat.
So you sand and scrape? Fill me in on the scrape if you don't mind, I'm always interested in other people's techniques.
again, really nice, you should be proud.
