I don't know if any of you guys do this but I always put the tape on y head first, instead of the piece. Then it acts like a glue bond in the sense that you just stick the piec on top where you want it. It saves a ton of time not having to fiddle to get the tape to line up with the edge of the piece perimeter. But the best benefit is you can rub a thin coat of white glue over the tape once it's on your head and this creates a matte finish to the tape and also a longer hold time. I wouldn't use tape if I had to stick it to the piece first and try to line it all up. I use just glue in the hairline, tape around the perimeter. The best tape I have ever found (even better than super tape and less shine) is air flex mini tabs. It's called Extendabond in Europe. The tabs are the best thing since bread. So easy to use, MEGA hold time (and I suffer from terrible short hold times due to chemistry) and you can carry a few in your wallet if there was ever an emergency.
