    That does look very nice. Silver 6000 was one of the colors in the swatches Lars sent as samples. It looks very traditional.

    The silver tapes are very well matched. The yellow tapes match but I believe once applied, the density of two layers makes it look darker. Lovin the silver.

    Like your colors Eddie, I'm just getting into the covering as well, have decided to cut my own straight edge tapes and seems to be working out, using an Olfa cutter with the proper mat and a long straight edge. Have not tried home made tape around curves yet.

    You just pointed out another reason to use straight edge tapes. Ive seen that tool at fabric places and unfortunately the pinked version is rounded off instead of sharp points.
