that looks like a a very thorough job JF! Looking good - I really like the look of the white Polyfibre when heat shrunk - it is a shame to have to put all that pink poly brush all over it!
Enjoying reading about your progress.
cheers

JFQuebec,
It is best two snap your lines, wet the area with polybrush then apply your tape in the wet polybrush. Use your snapped lines to keep your tape straight and carefully work it down the line. IMO you need the polybrush first this aids in bonding the tape to the fabric, may also alleviate dry spots in your finish. Snapping two lines at the width of the tape will help keep the tape straight and will also help it from being stretched wider during application. Second note is you do not need a heavy coat, soak the weave, the tape should easily stick to the tape and partially wet thorough and be able to slide around a bit. On a long section you don't have to apply the polybrush down the hole run. It will start to tack which will make it more difficult, work 3-5' at a time or what ever you are comfortable with. Try not to leave ridges outside the snapped lines, dry brush this area for a smoother over all finish. And don't worry you more layers to apply it will all start to level out.
Looking good.
