I'm about to re-adhere an ebony slim line arm rest to my guitar and could use a few tips. The replacement adhesive tape was shipped to me coiled up and it appears "straight in line". Is the tape flexible enough to "take the curve" of the arm rest perimeter without bunching up, or is it better to put it on in straight sections, then trim off? I know some of you guys have done this re-application in the past, and I'd appreciate your counsel.

Thanks!
