So i'm a tight sod and don't want to pay £35 for some Brooks honey bar tape.
I've read on an American forum that to get an almost identical colour/effect is to get cinelli cork bar tape and apply 3 or 4 coats of Amber Shellac. But the problem being, it seems really difficult to get shellac in this country.
So my question to you guys is... Has anyone atempted this procedure before? Does anyone know where you get shellac from? Does anyone know is you could use a replacement substance instead of shellac?
Cheers

This is what it's suppose to look like.
