Baw - I use the 2-sided tape Clemens sold. You wanna know how I fixed that thread slidign off teh foregrip problem? I wrap backwards, tip to butt. Granted, I cannot do a split diamond type of wrap this way, but for everythign else I wrap I go the other way. I don't have tape on both sides of the wrap, I only put it towards the tip, and turn around between the front of the foregrip, and the first repeat of the pattern - which is 20 or 25mm ALWAYS. Before you think I'm crazy, read through these 2 threads I posted on another site a while back:

You are 100% correct, that the milky white is from excess CP, as are the crystals from Gudebrod. I was trying to convey that if too much is applied, that will be the result. IF they are applied correctly, niether the milk of crystals will occur.

I use 811S/Brilliance 2. Everyone has their likes and dislikes, stick with what works for you - just make sure you give as many products a go around so you can find what YOU like best.

On butt wraps, I've come to prefer Glass Coat. I use Aftcote on my guides. I have the sample bottleof Aftcote, and appaantly it does not set up as hard as the ones which are being sold. I have rods I can stick my fingernail in teh epoxy which I finished months ago, I REALLY like the fact I can do that, as epoxy cracking is a thing of the past for my rods - I give Aftcote 60% of the credit for that, Alconites/Fuji concept 30%, and 10% goes to my inproved guide grinding skill. (way off topic, huh?)
