Brian - a masterful taping job. Please post a picture when you do the noodles.
Mike - that's a really shiny coat. I did another coat this evening.
Philip - the shellac does a pretty good job of locking in the color/beausage, give it a try.
Thanks for the replies, Joan
They are VO Porteur bars. I actually just took them off and I'm going to Noodles :) Another shellacing...

That looks fantastic. Are those Albatross bars with moustache-style road levers?

I generally do 3 coats to get it to look "finished" for my tastes. It will wear after a good rain or sweat session, so I would expect the beausage to start in pretty soon if you live anywhere it rains.I actually prefer it to look used - it's like new shoes. They look fake until they are scuffed up.BrianSeattle, WAOn Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 1:24 PM, Joan Oppel <oppe...@verizon.net> wrote:I really like Newbaum's tape, mostly because I like the colors and how they deepen with shellacking. My Bleriot came from Rivendell with cloth tape wrapped over cork tape underneath and shellacked. That was 6 years ago and I really liked how it felt and lasted. I've since re-done in the same way the Bleriot bars, other bars and a few days ago did another bike with Newbaum's over cork - there are 4 separate shots of the tape:So, the Newbaum's is somewhat fragile and really needs to be shellacked, I think. Here's the question: after wrapping, I put on 3 coats of shellac over a couple of days. The pictures are after a 150 mile weekend of riding so the tape definitely got a little human sweat/dirty hands use added to it.Is there a rule of thumb for how many coats provide good protection? What do those of you who are 'shellackers' usually do? Or, is it a matter of what final shade of color you're trying to achieve?Thanks -JoanRiv content: the Newbaum's orange tape was purchased from Rivendell. Plus, I always re-watch the bar wrapping and shellacking videos from Rivendell before re-doing handlebars. I really like the music that accompanies Riv videos.--To post to this group, send email to rbw-owne...@googlegroups.com.
