Trouble with fiberglass backing
NTD:
Ha, I hope not.

Oops! Didn't mean to let the F word slip, newbie mistake I guess ;D
Anyway, the glue was still tacky so I removed the tape and cleaned up the board. I cut up a big paper grocery bag and glued down one layer of brown paper, but I had to use 2 pieces to get the length I needed. I overlapped the pieces a little, but not much. How much should I have overlapped them? Oh, should I use more than one layer of paper backing?
Thanks for your help, and for not booting me off the island for the F word ;D

Eric....where did you put the seam? In the grip area I hope.....you don't.want to ever put a seam anywhere in the working limbs...just a reason for failure.....

El D,
I overlapped it right in the center of the handle. Its overlapping by about 1/8", is that enough?

El Destructo:
That will be fine....is it a stiff handle design....or a bendy one?
