    So got bored with electrical tape one day and decided to map out a *slightly* tapering pinstripe idea. Input or things I should add to it when I decide to do it?

    I think it looks cool. Id suggest not using electrical tape for the final project which is probly what you were going to do anyway. What are you going to use instead?

    Thought about getting racing stripe stuff and using the wide to make the large and putting the fine on top

    reduce the size of your signature or i'll just delete it.

    mine is 300x75 pixels, if that gives you a hint.

    600x200 is about the max i like to allow. otherwise it takes up way, way too much screen space.

    yu can take a dry sponge and just rub it off.
    i rubbed at the edges and was able to peel it off.
    the more coats yu use, the easier it is to peel off.
