I had a thread a couple of weeks ago entitled "calling all tapers to explain their routine"
you might look that one up

having been a gluer for years, I've recently tried a few tapes, and I find Walker No Shine
an exceptional tape. Not only is there not much shine, it will hold for days and days in
the hot sun, after sweaty workouts, showers, etc. I'm a convert to tape now, no glue
could do this.
