travel tape

This is always a good idea.

Too thick a paper makes fine traveling difficult.

Too thin makes for too many screw removals.

With the long wooden flanges (as on wooden rails) traveling is easy to
control by moving the tape further and further toward the centerpin to
get more effect.  On short flanges (Yamaha S&S) I cover just the key
side of the flange to get a small change.

The "LiK & StiK" tape I have used for years is 0.006" unliked.
