That's what aging is all about Bird, learning "new" things every day. When we get really old we can meet new people every day.
I continue to be impressed by the clear tape. I have it on that shiny Tisas and it does not degrade, lift, shift, or lose particles. Another good thing about it is that when I grip the gun in my left hand I don't have to worry about marring checkering that might get damaged on an alloy frame by my wedding ring. A steel frame wouldn't be an issue but I'm not sure about an alloy one. I have another one coming that I'll put the tape on, and post pictures of when I get it home and get the mods I have planned for it done.
