This single-sided paper build-up tape provides a .013" increase for each layer used, which means each wrap is about 1/5th of an increase in size. A full size increase from one size to the next is +1/16" (or +.0625"), which would require 5 wraps of tape. The paper build up tape is easy apply and resists wrinkling even when multiple layers

Grip "Build Up" tape
Make no mistake, this tape is to build up your grip, NOT hold it on. I have found that it also aids in getting the grip started over the largest diameter of the shaft.

Grip Tape
Adhesive is only on one side of this tape. I only use tape for the trail hand and to cover the open end of the shafts. Installing my Star Grips over the taped end and lower portion of the shaft was only slightly more difficult than a bare shaft. The Star Grips do not slip at all on the tape.
