I used the adhesive style rib stitch tape that Cable Rocket produces and had some problems with the adhesive bleeding through the finish tape . This is with Stits Poly Brush. When the Poly Brush wicks through the fabric it puts the adhesive into solution and the adhesive comes through the tape leaving sticky residue on the surface. It cleans up with an automotive style pre paint cleaner like Prep Sol but it's still an annoyance. This probably won't be a problem if you use a water based finish. On the other hand, the finished product looks great once you get over the adhesive wicking issues.
