Thanks for the info. I am ordering 6 oz tape. The selvage edge I will remove after the epoxy has cured to a leather consistency (got a trick for that). How much of a bump do you notice once the edge has been removed? Is it worth buying a 3.8 oz tape with no selvage edge? I'm just unsure how difficult it will be to wet out (no selvage could mean a mess).
