I'm looking to add a tom to my existing BigR MemriLoc XP-8 TSB kit. I have a line on a Metallic Gold (76-84) tom with perfect hardware. If it's an XP-8 shell, I know I have a good finish ply to work with.
HOWEVER, if it's a pre-XP-8 shell, I don't know what kind of finish ply is lurking under that wrap.
Any opinions out there on pre-XP-8 finish plys? Also, I've read that Rogers wraps can be tough to remove - true?
